Resistin, Human, Recombinant, E. coli

Recombinant, human resistin expressed in E. coli. A dimeric protein secreted by adipocytes. Resistin may be an important link between obesity and type II diabetes; levels of resistin have been shown to be altered in animal models of diabetes. Contains ≤0.1 ng endotoxin per µg resistin.

Lyophilized from 10 mM sodium citrate, pH 3.0.

Following reconstitution, refrigerate (4°C) for short-term storage or aliquot and freeze (-20°C) for long-term storage. Stock solutions are stable for up to 1 week at 4°C or for up to 6 months at -20°C.

Reconstitute with water to a concentration of 0.1-1 mg/ml.

Endotoxin: ≤ 0.1 ng endotoxin/µg resistin
