About this Product
- SKU:

- Additional Names:
- Fibrillin-1; FBN1; Asprosin; FBN
- Extra Details:
- Asprosin is a protein hormone that is produced by white adipose tissue in mammals (and potentially by other tissues); which is then transported to the liver and stimulates it to release glucose into the blood stream. In the liver asprosin activates rapid glucose release by a cAMP-dependent pathway. The glucose release by the liver into the blood stream is vital for brain function and survival during fasting. People with neonatal progeroid syndrome lack asprosin; while people with insulin resistance have it in abundance. In animal tests asprosin showed potential for treating type 2 diabetes. When antibodies targeting asprosin were injected into diabetic mice; blood glucose and insulin levels improved.
