| Cat. No. : |
LEP-336H |
| Description : |
Leptin inhibits food intake and stimulates energy expenditure. Leptin also has thermogenic actions and regulates enzymes of fatty acid oxidation. Severe hereditary obesity in rodents and humans is caused by defects in leptin production. |
| Species : |
Human |
| Source : |
E.coli |
| Form : |
Recombinant Human Leptin is lyophilized with no additives. |
| Purity : |
Purity Greater than 95% as determined by: Analysis by RP-HPLC. Reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE. |
| Bio-activity : |
Leptin Human Recombinant is fully biologically active when compared to standards. The ED50, calculated by the leptin-dependant stimulation of Human OB-R transfected mouse BaF3 indicator cells is 0.5-1.6 ng/ml. |
| Physical Appearance : |
Sterile Filtered white lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Solubility : |
Centrifuge vial before opening. When reconstituting the product, gently pipet and wash down the sides of the vial to ensure full recovery of the protein into solution. It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized product with sterile water at a concentration of 0.1 mgμs/ml, which can be further diluted into other aqueous solutions. |
| Purity Greater than 95% as determined by : |
Analysis by RP-HPLC. Reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE. |
| Protein Content determined by : |
UV spectroscopy at 280 nm. Analysis by RP-HPLC calibrated against a known standard. Quantitation on SDS-PAGE against a known standard. |
| Endotoxin Level : |
Endotoxin level as measured by LAL is <0.01ng/ug or <0.1EU/ug. |

| Storage : |
Lyophilized product is very stable at -20 degrees. Reconstituted material should be aliquoted and frozen at -20. It is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) for long term storage. |
| Pathways : |
Adipocytokine signaling pathway; Cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction; Jak-STAT signaling pathway; Neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction |
