Antibody against resistin. Resistin is expressed in adipocytes (predominantly in rodents) and in mononuclear leukocytes, macrophages, spleen, and bone marrow cells (predominantly in humans). It functions as a pro-inflammatory cytokine that links metabolic and inflammatory pathways, influencing glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity. Elevated resistin levels have been associated with metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and inflammatory conditions, suggesting its involvement in both metabolic regulation and immune response modulation.
