RETN

(redirected from FIZZ3)

RETN

A gene on chromosome 19p13.2 that encodes resistin, which is secreted by adipocytes and suppresses insulin-driven glucose uptake by adipose cells.

Molecular pathology
RETN mutations may link obesity to type-2 diabetes.

Resistin, also known as found in inflammatory zone 3 (FIZZ3) is an adipocyte-derived hormone known to promote insulin resistance, impair adipocyte differentiation, and to promote inflammation [1-5] and that was originally identified in rats as a protein secreted by adipocytes that is under the control of different humoral signals and nutritional status; nutrition and metabolism regulate this adipoine.
