Anti-Adiponectin (rat), clone RADI 264

Recognizes rat adiponectin. Detects a band of about 30kDa by Western blot. Does not cross-react with human or mouse adiponectin. Liquid. 0.2µm-filtered solution in PBS, pH 7.4. Contains no preservatives. ACRP30 was identified as a novel adipocyte-specific synthesized and secreted protein with structural resemblance to complement factor C1q. Like adipsin, ACRP30 secretion is induced about 10-fold during adipocyte differentiation. Plasma levels are reduced in obese humans, and low levels are associated with insulin-resistance. Treatment of db/db mice with TZD increased ACRP30 levels.
