Description

Super Leptin Antagonist Rat Recombinant is a single polypeptide chain containing 146 amino acids. Super Rat Leptin Antagonist was mutated, resulting in D23L/L39A/D40A/F41A super Rat leptin antagonist that was purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Source

Escherichia coli.

Formulation

The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution with 0.003mM NaHCO3.

Purity

Greater than 98.0% as determined by:

(a) Gel filtration analysis.

(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

Biological Activity

ProSpec’s super Rat leptin antagonist is capable of inhibiting leptin-induced proliferation of BAF/3 cells stably transfected with the long form of human leptin receptor. Super Rat leptin antagonist also inhibits various leptin effects in several in vitro bioassays.

More Info

  • Physical Appearance

    White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

  • Stability

    Lyophilized Super Leptin Antagonist although stable at room temperature for several weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution of super Rat leptin antagonist at > 0.1 mg/ml and up to 2 mg/ml and filter sterilization super Rat leptin antagonist can be stored at 4C or even room temperature for several weeks making it suitable for long term infusion studies using osmotic pumps. At lower concentration addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is suggested. Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

  • Solubility

    It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Super Leptin Antagonist in sterile 0.4% NaHCO3 adjusted to pH 8-9, not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

  • Amino Acid Sequence

    The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Ala-Val-Pro-Ile-His.

  • Background

    Leptin is a hormone which takes part in regulating body weight, metabolism and reproductive function and is encoded by the obese gene. Leptin is expressed predominantly by adipocytes, which fits with the idea that body weight is sensed as the total mass of fat in the body. Smaller amounts of leptin are also secreted by cellsin the epithelium of the stomach and in the placenta. Leptin receptors are expressed mainly in areas of the hypothalamus which regulates body weight, as well as in T lymphocytes and vascular endothelial cells.
