| Description: |
Visfatin is a novel adipokine produced by visceral adipose
tissue. Visfatin is thought to be a natural insulin mimetic
since is has been shown to bind to insulin receptors in
liver, muscle and fat. Increased circulating plasma levels
are likely to play critical roles in metabolic syndromes
such as obesity and diabetes.
RANDOX recombinant Visfatin comprises a 491 amino
acid fragment (1-491) corresponding to the mature
Visfatin protein and is expressed in E. coli with an aminoterminal
hexahistidine tag. This product is for research
use only and is not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic
use
