Function:

Hormone that acts as a blood lipid regulator by regulating serum triglyceride levels

Involvement in disease:

Relevance:

Hormone that acts as a blood lipid regulator by regulating serum triglyceride levels . May be involved in the metabolic transition between fasting and refeeding: required to direct fatty acids to adipose tissue for storage in the fed state . According to a report, may act by promoting ANGPTL3 cleavage . According to another study, not required for cleavage of ANGPTL3 .

Reconstitution:

We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20℃/-80℃. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.
