Principle of the Assay: Resistin ELISA kit applies the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique. The microtiter plate has been pre-coated with a monoclonal antibody specific for Resistin. Standards or samples are then added to the microtiter plate wells and Resistin if present, will bind to the antibody pre-coated wells. In order to quantitatively determine the amount of Resistin present in the sample, a standardized prepaRabbition of horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated polyclonal antibody, specific for Resistin are added to each well to "sandwich" the Resistin immobilized on the plate. The microtiter plate undergoes incubation, and then the wells are thoroughly washed to remove all unbound components. Next, substRabbite solutions are added to each well. The enzyme (HRP) and substRabbite are allowed to react over a short incubation period. Only those wells that contain Resistin and enzyme-conjugated antibody will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substRabbite reaction is terminated by addition of a sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentRabbition of standards. The Resistin concentRabbition in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene belongs to the family defined by the mouse resistin-like genes. The characteristic feature of this family is the C-terminal stretch of 10 cys residues with identical spacing. The mouse homolog of this protein is secreted by adipocytes, and may be the hormone potentially linking obesity to type II diabetes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]

Product Notes
The Sheep Resistin retn (Catalog #AAA743265) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA743265 ELISA Kit recognizes Sheep Resistin. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Resistin, ELISA Kit" 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
