abm | Recombinant Human Chemerin | Z102209

Human Chemerin, also known as Tazarotene induced Gene 2 (TIG2), is an adipokine that regulates adipogenesis, metabolism and inflammation through activation of the chemokine-like receptor 1. Its other ligands include G protein-coupled receptor 1 and chemokine receptor-like 2. Chemerin is expressed in various tissues where its biologically active form is generated by proteolytic removal of C-terminal residues by circulating proteases. In human, the soluble protoform gets processed into a monomeric, heparin binding bioactive molecule that can have both pro- and anti-inflammatory properties depending on the modality of enzymatic cleavage by different classes of proteases.

Functions:

Measured by its ability to chemoattract BaF3 mouse pro-B cells transfected with human ChemR23. The ED(50) for this effect is typically 4 - 20 ng/mL.

Ambient Temperature

Storage Condition:

The lyophilized protein is stable for at least one year from date of receipt at -70°C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2° - 8°C for one month, or at -20°C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
