Resistin is a cysteine-rich secreted protein present in plasma and belongs to resistin-like molecules (RELMs), also known as members of the family of FIZZs (found in inflammatory zone). Rodent resistin is secreted exclusively by adipocytes; whereas human resistin is expressed primarily in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and is increased in expression upon differentiation into macrophages.
