Anti-Omentin 1 (Saly-2) Antibody (OAED00380)

Intelectin-1, Intestinal lactoferrin receptor, Galactofuranose-binding lectin, Endothelial lectin HL-1

Omentin 1 (also named intelectin-1, endothelial lectin HL-1 and intestinal lactoferrin receptor) has been identified as a visceral fat (or omental fat) depot-specific adipokine. Omentin 1 is a secreted protein of ca.38 kDa containing a fibrinogen-related domain. Omentin 1 is highly expressed in the omental fat, and much less in intestine, lung and heart. Addition of recombinant omentin in vitro did not affect basal, but enhanced insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in subcutaneous as well as in omental human adipocytes. Omentin 1 triggers AKT signalling in the absence of insulin.

Recognizes human omentin 1 and rat omentin. Cross-reacts with human omentin 2.
