RETN_HUMAN ; Reactome: R-HSA-6798695 ; Gene ID: 56729

Tissue Specificity: Expressed in white adipose tissue (at protein level). Widely expressed, with particularly strong expression in lung, bone marrow, breast and peripheral blood. Expressed strongly in bone marrow and at lower levels in lung, but not detected in other tissues. Isoform 2 is detected in adipose tissue, bone marrow, brain, lung, peripheral blood, placenta and thymus.

Function: Hormone that seems to suppress insulin ability to stimulate glucose uptake into adipose cells. Potentially links obesity to diabetes. Promotes chemotaxis in myeloid cells.
