Intelectin-1/Omentin-1 ELISA

Human intelectin-1 is a glycoprotein mainly secreted from intestinal goblet cells. First, it was shown that the protein was related to inflammation or parasite infection. Then, it has been reported that intelectin-1 is secreted from epithelioid-type malignant pleural mesothelioma into pleural effusion, while human intelectin-1 is not expressed on normal mesothelial cells nor most cancer cells including lung adenocarcinoma. More recently, Intelectin-1/Omentin-1 has become to be known as an adipocytokine that exists in human blood, and is expected as a new biomarker of metabolic risk factor. This product is an ELISA kit for measuring of human Intelectin-1/Omentin-1.
