Mouse Resistin (Retn) ELISA Kit

From Assay Genie, this Mouse Resistin (Retn) ELISA Kit is a colorimetric sandwich immunoassay designed to quantify resistin in mouse samples. It is validated for serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids, and specifically recognizes both natural and recombinant mouse resistin.

The assay has a detection range of 0.156–10 ng/mL and a sensitivity of 0.088 ng/mL, with reported intra-assay CV of 6.9% and inter-assay CV of 8.6%. Serum recovery averages 84% (range 80–90%) and plasma recovery averages 86% (range 80–92%). Resistin is a secreted disulfide-linked homodimer belonging to the resistin/FIZZ family; it functions as a hormone that appears to suppress insulin's ability to stimulate glucose uptake into adipose cells, potentially linking obesity to diabetes. Synonyms include Adipose tissue-specific secretory factor, Adipose-specific cysteine-rich secreted protein A12-alpha, Cysteine-rich secreted protein FIZZ3, ADSF and Fizz3. The protein is associated with UniProt entry Q99P87 (NCBI Gene ID 57264) and has a molecular weight of 12,492 Da. The kit is supplied for research use only and is intended for signal transduction research.
