White adipose tissue is now recognized to be a multifunctional organ; in addition to the central role of lipid storage, it has a major endocrine function secreting several hormones. These various protein signals have been given the collective name ‘adipocytokines’ or 'adipokines‘. AdipoGen has prepared a panel of adipokine products: leptin, adiponectin, resistin, visfatin, RELMalpha, RELMbeta, Pref-1.
Regulatory T cell products
AdipoGen has generated several products for regulatory T cell research. GITR and its ligand GITRL seem to be involved in interactions between activated T lymphocytes and endothelial cells and in the regulation of T cell receptor-mediated cell death. FOXP3 contributes to the development and/or function of Tr cells and may be a master regulatory gene and a more specific marker of Tr cells than other cell surface molecules.
