Anti-Relm alpha Antibody, Biotinylated

A family of resistin-like molecules (RELMs) has been identified in rodents and humans. RELM alpha belongs to a unique family of tissue-specific cytokines termed FIZZ and RELM, also a new member to the family of adipocyte-secreted proteins called adipocytokines. The three known members of this family; Resistin, RELM alpha and RELM beta are 85-94 amino acid secreted proteins, sharing high sequence homology in their C-terminal signature domain. RELM alpha and resistin are secreted exclusively by adipocytes while RELM beta is expressed in the epithelium of the colon and small bowel. RELM alpha is a secreted protein that has a restricted tissue distribution with highest levels in adipose tissue. The RELMs together with resistin comprise a class of tissue-specific signaling molecules.

The antibody is stable for at least 1 year from the date of receipt when stored at -20°C to -70°C. Reconstituted antibody can also be aliquotted and stored at 4°C for 1 month or at -20°C to -70°C in a manual defrost freezer for many months without detectable loss activity. Please avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

The rabbit anti-mouse Relm alpha antibody detects a target specifically derived from recombinant protein at various concentrations. Cross reactivity with human and rat are expected from sequence similarity.
