RELM-α (GFM56-25)

Resistin-like molecule-α (RELM-α) is a member of the RELM-family of secreted proteins containing conserved C-terminus cysteines. The RELM-family consists of resistin (FIZZ3), RELM-α (FIZZ1), RELM-β (FIZZ2), and RELM-γ (FIZZ4). RELM-α and resistin are secreted by adipocytes, unlike RELM-β which is secreted by gastrointestinal epithelial cells, and RELM-γ which is expressed by peripheal blood granulocytes and bone marrow cells.
