Product Description
Antibiotic. Fatty acid synthase (FAS) inhibitor reported to bind in equimolar ratio to β-keto-acyl-ACP synthase, thus inhibiting protein acylation. Produces metabolic effects similar to effects of leptin, but through mechanisms that are independent of, or down-stream from, both leptin and melanocortin receptors. Apoptosis inducer. Inhibitor of bacterial fatty acid synthesis (inhibits FabH, FabB and FabF condensation enzymes).

General Information
Chemerin (tazarotene-induced gene 2; TIG2) is a chemotactic agent that was identified as the ligand for the orphan G protein-coupled receptor ChemR23. Recently, chemerin has been shown to be expressed abundantly in adipose tissue and to function as a new adipokine [1, 2]. Chemerin potentiates insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and regulates adipogenesis and adipocyte metabolism [1].
MANUFACTURER Manufactured by Apotech Corporation.
