SYNONYMS
Serpin A12 precursor, Visceral adipose-specific serpin, Visceral adipose tissue- derived serine protease inhibitor, Vaspin, OL-64, SERPINA12, Serine (or cysteine) proteinase inhibitor, clade A, antitrypsin, alpha-1 antiproteinase.
INTRODUCTION
Vaspin (visceral adipose-specific SERPIN) is a newly identified adipokine, which is a member of serine protease inhibitor family. Vaspin is also a unique insulin sensitizing adipocytokine in obesity. A recent publication indicates that induction of human vaspin mRNA expression in adipose tissue is regulated in a fat depot-specific manner and could be associated with parameters of obesity, insulin resistance, and glucose metabolism.
DESCRIPTION
Vaspin Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non- glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 394 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 45.1kDa.
Vaspin is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
