Abstract:Chemerin is a chemoattractant protein with adipokine and antimicrobial properties encoded by the retinoic acid receptor responder 2 (RARRES2) gene. Chemerin bioactivity is largely dependent on carboxyl-terminal proteolytic processing that generates chemerin isoforms with the different chemotactive, regulatory and antimicrobial potential.While these mechanisms are relatively well known, a role of alternative splicing in generating isoform diversity remains obscure. Using rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) … Show more
