| Scientific Background: | Resistin-like molecule-α, or RELM-α, is a cytokine member to a unique family of proteins including RELM-β and Resistin. All members of the family share a highly conserved C- terminal region with 10 cysteine residues. RELM-α and Resistin are secreted by adipocytes, whereas RELM-β is secreted by intestinal epithelial cells. |
