Purified. 95% by SDS-PAGE.
Purified. 95% by SDS-PAGE.
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.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a protein that catalyzes the condensation of nicotinamide with 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate to yield nicotinamide mononucleotide, one step in the biosynthesis of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. The protein belongs to the nicotinic acid phosphoribosyltransferase (NAPRTase) family and is thought to be involved in many important biological processes, including metabolism, stress response and aging. This gene has a pseudogene on chromosome 10. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]
Uniprot Description
PBEF: an ubiquitous protein originally described as a cytokine which acts on early B-lineage precursor cells. Other reports indicate that PBEF is not a cytokine-like secreted protein but an intracellular protein associated with the cell cycle. Contains a catalytically active nicotinate phosphoribosyltransferase domain, an enzyme involved in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) biosynthesis.

Product Notes
The NAMPT nampt (Catalog #AAA634997) is a Protein produced from Human, Recombinant, E Coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's PBEF can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EL/EIA). Suitable for use in ELISA.,, Recommended Dilution:, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the NAMPT nampt for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "PBEF, Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
