Résumé UniProt
Hormone that seems to suppress insulin ability to stimulate glucose uptake into adipose cells (By similarity). Potentially links obesity to diabetes (By similarity). Promotes chemotaxis in myeloid cells (PubMed:15064728).
Résumé Entrez
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.
Spécificité tissulaire
Expressed in white adipose tissue (at protein level) (PubMed:11201732). Widely expressed, with particularly strong expression in lung, bone marrow, breast and peripheral blood (PubMed:15248836). Expressed strongly in bone marrow and at lower levels in lung, but not detected in other tissues (PubMed:15064728). Isoform 2 is detected in adipose tissue, bone marrow, brain, lung, peripheral blood, placenta and thymus (PubMed:15248836).
