Further Information
Accession:
P35555
Alternative Names:
Fibrillin-1; FBN1; Asprosin; FBN
Apparent Molecular Weight:
27-30 KDa, reducing conditions
Background:
Asprosin is a protein hormone that is produced by white adipose tissue in mammals (and potentially by other tissues), which is then transported to the liver and stimulates it to release glucose into the blood stream. In the liver asprosin activates rapid glucose release by a cAMP-dependent pathway. The glucose release by the liver into the blood stream is vital for brain function and survival during fasting. People with neonatal progeroid syndrome lack asprosin, while people with insulin resistance have it in abundance. In animal tests asprosin showed potential for treating type 2 diabetes. When antibodies targeting asprosin were injected into diabetic mice, blood glucose and insulin levels improved.
Endotoxin:
Less than 0.1 ng/ug (1 EU/ug) as determined by LAL test.
Molecular Weight:
17 KDa
Purity:
Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.
Redissolve:
Always centrifuge tubes before opening.Do not mix by vortex or pipetting.
It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100ug/ml.
Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water.
Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.?
