Background:

Intelectin-1, also known as ITLN1, INTL, Omentin or LFR, is a 313 amino acidprotein that contains one fibrinogen C-terminal domain and is either secretedor lipid-anchored to the cell membrane. Highly expressed in small intestineand adipose tissue and present at lower levels in testis, heart, pancreas, colonand skeletal muscle, Intelectin-1 exists as a disulfide-linked homotrimer thatfunctions to enhance Insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and is also thought toparticipate in host defense against miccroorganisms. In addition to its rolesin glucose regulation and immune system function, Intelectin-1 may also beinvolved in iron metabolism and obesity regulation in adults. Intelectin-2shares 85% amino acid identity with Intelectin-1 and, like Intelectin-1, is asecreted protein that contains one fibrinogen C-terminal domain and is thoughtto play a role in the host defense system. While Intelectin-1 is present in avariety of tissues, Intelectin-2 exists only in the small intestine.
