Fibroblast growth factor-21 mouse/rat elisa (fgf-21)

date: 24. 8. 2009, author: BioVendor
cat. Animal studies, Energy metabolism and body weight regulation

FGF-21 is novel metabolic regulator produced primarily by the liver. FGF-21 is a potent activator of glucose uptake on adipocytes, protects animals from diet-induced obesity when overexpressed in transgenic…

Apolipoprotein D

date: 7. 1. 2008, author: BioVendor
cat. Energy metabolism and body weight regulation, Lipoprotein metabolism

Apolipoprotein D (apoD) is a 29-kDa 169-amino acid glycoprotein that is primarily associated with high density lipoproteins in human plasma. A fraction of human apoD, like other cysteine-containing apolipoproteins,…
