Specification

• Species: Rat
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: His
• Description: Resistin, a product of the RSTN gene, is a peptide hormone belonging to the class of cysteine-rich secreted proteins (monomeric peptide contains 11 cysteine residues) referred to as the RELM family, and is also described as ADSF (Adipose Tissue-Specific Secretory Factor) or FIZZ3 (Found in Inflammatory Zone 3). Mouse resistin is expressed as a 114 amino acid prepeptide; its hydrofobic Nterminal 20 amino acid signal peptide is cleaved before its secretion. Mouse resistin circulates in blood as a homodimeric protein consisting of two 94 amino acid polypeptides, which are disulfide-linked via Cys26. Resistin may be an important link between obesity and insulin resistance.
• Specificity: The amino acid sequence of the Resistin Rat Recombinant is 100% homologous to the amino acid sequence of the Resistin Rat without signal sequence.
• Purification Method: One -step procedure using affinity Ni-NTA chromatography.
• Purity: >95% (SDS-PAGE analyzed).
• Formulation: Sterile filtered and lyophilized from 0.5 mg/ml in 20mM Tris pH 8.0.
• Solubility: Add 0.2 ml of deionized H₂O and let the lyophilized pellet dissolve completely.
• Applications: Western blotting.
• Stability: Store lyophilized protein at -20°C. Aliquot the product after reconstitution to avoid repeated freezing/thawing cycles. Reconstituted protein can be stored at 4°C for a limited period of time; it does not show any change after two weeks at 4°C. The lyophilized protein remains stable until the expiry date when stored at -20°C.
