Recombinant Human Leptin

Synonyms:Obesity protein (OB)
Description:Encoded by the ob (obese) gene, Leptin is an adipose-derived cytokine that suppresses appetite and increases thermogenesis. Leptin exerts its anorectic effect via signaling through a hypothalamic receptor termed OB-R. Leptin has been shown to reduce body weight, food consumption, and plasma glucose levels in various in vivo models. Recombinant human Leptin is a 16.0 kDa protein containing 147 amino acid residues.
Source:E.coli
Stability:The lyophilized protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20C. Reconstituted Leptin is stable for at least 3 months when stored in working aliquots with a carrier protein at -20C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Purity:Greater than 99% by SDS-PAGE gel and HPLC analyses.
Biological Activity:Globe's human Leptin is biologically active in the ob/ob mouse obesity model. The ob/ob mice were treated via intraperitoneal injection once daily at a dose of 5 µg Leptin/gm of body weight for 7 days. Significant effects on body weight, food consumption, and plasma glucose levels were observed to saline-treated controls.
