Summary

The ELISA for quantitative measurement of Vaspin is based on polyclonal rabbit antisera raised by genetic immunization of the rabbits (cDNA Vaspin SC306941). Vaspin also known as SerpinA12 is a serine protease inhibitor and consists of 395 amino acids forming 3 β-sheets and 9 α-helices. Molecular weight of Vaspin is about 45.2 kDa. It does not form multimeric aggregates or intra-molecular disulfide bridges and no binding proteins in human serum are known. The Vaspin gene is not only expressed by subcutaneous and visceral adipose but also by liver tissue, in the pancreas1 and in the human epidermis (granular keratinocytes / GK cells)2.
