Leptin provides the key afferent signal from fat cells in the feedback system that controls body fat stores. |
| Synonyms | OB Protein, Obesity Protein, OBS, Obesity factor. |
| Source | Escherichia Coli. |
| Physical Appearance | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Formulation | The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution with 0.0045mM NaHCO3. |
| Solubility | The lyophilized Leptin is very soluble in water and most aqueous buffers below and above the isoelectric point. |
| Stability | Lyophilized Leptin althoµgh stable at room temperature, should be stored desiccated below 0°C. Reconstituted Leptin is best stored refrigerated at 4°C. |
| Amino Acid Sequence | The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Ala-Val-Pro-Ile-Gln. |
| Purity | Greater than 95.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by SEC-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |
| Biological Activity | Biological Activity is evidenced by inducing proliferation of BAF/3 cells stably transfected with the long form of human leptin receptor. |
| Usage | NeoBiolab's products are furnished for LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. The product may not be used as drµgs, agricultural or pesticidal products, food additives or household chemicals. |
