Preparation and Storage

Background: Intelectin-1/Omentin

Intelectin (endothelial lectin; also ITLN-1 and omentin) is a 34 kDa Ca-dependent galactofuranose-binding lectin that is not a C-type lectin. It is expressed in intestinal and airway epithelium and appears to participate in insulin signaling and microbe recognition. Intelectin-1 is upregulated in asthma and contributes to allergic airway inflammation. The mouse Intelectin-1 preproprecursor is 313 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains a 19 aa signal sequence, a 279 aa mature segment (aa 20-298), and a 15 aa C-terminal proregion that is cleaved to generate a GPI-linkage. Soluble Intelectin-1 can be released from omental adipose tissue and malignant pleural mesothelioma. One fibrinogen-related domain exists in the mature molecule (aa 32-251). Human Intelectin-1 exists as a disulfide-linked glycosylated homotrimer; mouse is unglycosylated and a monomer. Mature mouse Intelectin-1 is 82% aa identical to human Intelectin-1.
