Human Resistin (RETN) ELISA Kit

From Assay Genie, this colorimetric Sandwich ELISA Kit is intended for the quantitative measurement of human Resistin (RETN), an adipokine implicated in insulin resistance, inflammation and metabolic disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. The assay is reactive with human samples, including serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids, and specifically recognises natural and recombinant human Resistin. It supports research in signal transduction and the broader study of metabolic disease.

Performance characteristics include a detection range of 0.312-20ng/mL and a sensitivity of 0.122ng/mL. Intra-assay CV is reported at 5.2% and inter-assay CV at 7.7%. Recovery averages 98% (range 92-104%) in serum and 100% (range 94-106%) in plasma. Resistin (UniProt Q9HD89, NCBI Gene ID 56729) is a secreted disulfide-linked homodimer described as a hormone that suppresses insulin's ability to stimulate glucose uptake into adipose cells, potentially linking obesity to type 2 diabetes. The kit is for research use only.
