Connecting Immunology to Metabolism

The corporate headquarters for AdipoGen International is in San Diego, USA and the Operational headquarters is in Liestal, Switzerland. They have a motivated team of highly-skilled individuals developing new products for the Life Science Reagents Market in the fast growing areas of cancer, immunology, inflammation, metabolic syndrome (diabetes, obesity), stem cells and neurodegeneration.

The major focus is on innovation and advanced ELISA kits. In addition to the antibody and protein facilities, AdipoGen owns chemical laboratories, enabling the company to develop new and innovative biochemicals.

AdipoGen International connects immunology to metabolism. In the next decades both diseases, obesity and diabetes, are considered to increase significantly worldwide. It becomes more and more evident that both diseases are not only a result of unbalanced nutrition but are closely related to inflammatory processes. To establish better cures of the diseases, it is necessary to understand the cross-talk between the hormones and cytokines which are secreted from fat cells and immune cells and to understand the principles of the specific binding of ligands to the receptors.

AdipoGen International offers a drug design platform, through i) discovering and characterizing adipokines and cytokines, which are secreted from fat cells and immune cells regulating glucose and fat metabolism, and ii) identifying and characterizing the receptor genes of these secreted factors.

Catalogues & Technical Brochures

AdipoGen General Catalogue

AdipoGen produces and offers a broad panel of Small Molecules (Biochemicals) and Rare Natural Products for research use. We are committed to provide innovative and new high quality products at reasonable prices to enhance your research. This brochure lists all biochemicals alphabetically and provides the most important product data to help you make your decision.

ELISA Kit Catalogue

This piece of literature lists the AdipoGen ELISA Kit in the fields of Obesity, Diabetes, Inflammation, Immunology and Cancer Research comprehensively in 24 pages.

NOD-like Receptors (NLRs) and Inflammasomes

During an infection, intracellular pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), including Nod-like receptors (NLRs) and RIG-like helicase receptors (RLRs), recognize molecular patterns expressed by invading pathogens. The inflammasome, a multi-molecular complex collectively activates the caspase-1 cascade, thereby leading to the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines especially IL-1b and IL-18. This brochure is considered a short summary of this exciting field of research.

Product Flyers

Adipokines - From Standards to New Additions

This flyer shows an overview on the product range AdipoGen offers in the field of adipokine. The standard ELISA Kits from AdipoGen are used and cited worldwide by key researchers.

Ancell Corporation - Antibodies Overview

Ancell's extensive panel of human CD antibodies is produced by its experienced in-house development team. The products are purified and conjugated under optimized conditions and rigorously tested in cell lines and human samples. Most of the antibodies are variously labelled to perform in multiple applications, including flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence. Several antibodies have functional applications (which may be used for activation, neutralization or blocking studies).

ANGPTLs [Angiopoietin-like Proteins] - Key Tools for Obesity and Stem Cell Biology

The ANGPTLs are a group of proteins, each one selectively regulating different processes, such as angiogenesis, several metabolic diseases (obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes), inflammation and stem cell development.

Progranulin [PGRN] - A Multifunctional Protein

Progranulin (PGRN) is a widely expressed pluripotent growth factor which plays a role in processes such as cancer, development, wound repair, inflammation and it is of high interest for the research on neurodegenerative disease. Recently, PGRN was also shown to be a factor for metabolic syndrome.

Small Molecules - New Innovative Tools for you Exciting Research

AdipoGen manufactures a wide panel of new, innovative small molecule reagents, including Stem Cell Biology, Sonic Hedgehog, Protein Kinase, Cancer & Immunology and Obesity modulators. AdipoGen is also original manufacturer for many popular small molecule reagents. "Get it from the Original Source"

TRAIL & TRAIL Receptors - Effectors of Apoptotic Signalling

AdipoGen offers a comprehensive and innovative panel of TRAIL(R) related reagents. Detect TRAIL-Rs using our FACS- or IHC-competent antibody panels, kill your cells with our "Killers" KillerTRAIL, SuperKillerTRAIL or EnhancedTRAIL Pack or use our izTRAIL for your in vitro and/or in vivo studies. Use our reagents and your TRAIL research will never trail behind.

Cancer Research - New Tools for Notch, Hedgehog, TNF and Sirtuin Research

AdipoGen offers comprehensive panels of new and innovative products for the advancement of Cancer Research.

Cytoskeleton - Focus Microtubules

Microtubules are the largest cytoskeletal components involved in intracellular transport (cell signalling), cell migration/trafficking, cell division and proliferation. Understanding of the cell structure and function is essential for gaining deeper knowledge of normal pathways such as morphogenesis, wound healing, neurogenesis and immune response, as well as abnormal processes such as metastasis and tumour-related angiogenesis.

Recombinant Monoclonal Antibodies - From a NON-ANIMAL SOURCE

This flyer summarizes in a table format all Adipokines- and Metabolism-related ELISA Kits and a big range of literature references that use the AdipoGen ELISA Kit product range.

Netrin-1 - Fully Biological Active

Netrin-1 controls guidance of CNS commissural axons and peripheral motor axons. It also serves as a survival factor and is involved in tumorigenesis by regulating apoptosis.

Kdo2-Lipid A - TLR4 Agonist

Kdo2-Lipid A is a defined substructure of the Re mutant of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). It is a strong activator (<10ng/ml) of macrophages that signals via the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4).

Notch Ligands

The Notch pathway plays an important role in many different processes and has been associated with various human disorders such as cancer, immune disorders, development syndromes, stroke and cognitive symptoms.

NAMPT [PBEF/Visfatin]

NAMPT is an adipokine that is localized to the bloodstream and has various functions, including the promotion of vascular smooth muscle cell maturation and inhibition of neutrophil apoptosis. It also activates insulin receptor and has insulin-mimetic effects, lowering blood glucose and improving insulin sensitivity. NAMPT-mediated NAD+ biosynthesis has widespread actions on cellular senescence, aging, obesity, diabetes, cancer, and inflammation.

The FGF Family

The various fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) have been reported to regulate complex biological processes such as embryonic development, angiogenesis, wound healing, nerve regeneration, chronic inflammation and cancer.
