Summary
This gene belongs to the family defined by the mouse resistin-like genes. The characteristic feature of this family is the C-terminal stretch of 10 cys residues with identical spacing. The mouse homolog of this protein is secreted by adipocytes, and may be the hormone potentially linking obesity to type II diabetes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]

Protein Information
 
Protein Name
Resistin, C/EBP-epsilon regulated myeloid-specific secreted cysteine-rich protein precursor 1, adipose tissue-specific secretory factor, c/EBP-epsilon-regulated myeloid-specific secreted cysteine-rich protein, cysteine-rich secreted protein A12-alpha-like 2, cysteine-rich secreted protein FIZZ3, found in inflammatory zone 3, resistin delta2
 
Function
