Description

Introduction
Leptin is a hormone secreted from white adipocytes and plays important role in the regulation of food intake and energy balance. Leptin functions via signaling pathways involving OB-R in hypothalamus. Animal models have revealed the influence of Leptin in reducing body weight and regulating blood glucose level. When mutations are introduced in obese gene, mice with impaired function of leptin are massively obese and in high risk of diabetes. Leptin deficiency reduces metablic rate. Leptin deficient mice are less active and with lower body temperature than normal animals. Human Leptin shares approximately 84% sequence identity with the mouse protein. Human Leptin consists of 167 amino acid residue including a 21 amino acid residue signal sequence and 146 amino acid residue mature protein sequence.

BP000221-CYT-507: Recombinant Rabbit Leptin (LEP) Protein

Source: E. Coli-derived.
A single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 146 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 16 kDa.
N-terminal sequence analysis: Ala-Val-Pro-Ile-Arg.
Biological active as evidenced by inducing proliferation of BAF/3 cells stably transfected with the long form of human leptin receptor.
Purity: > 95.0% by reducing SDS-PAGE and SEC-HPLC.
Formulation: The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1 mg/ml) solution with 0.0045 mM NaHCO3.
Reconstitution: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Leptin in sterile 18 M?-cm H2O not less than 100 ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Shipping: The product is shipped at ambient temperature. Upon receipt, store it immediately at the temperature recommended below.
Stability & Storage: Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-?thaw cycles.
12 months from date of receipt, -20 to -?70? as supplied.
