Description

Leptin Quadruple Antagonist Mouse Recombinant is a single non-glycosilated polypeptide chain containing 146 amino, an additional Ala at N-terminus and having a molecular mass of ~ 16 kDa. The Leptin antagonist was mutated, resulting in D23L/L39A/D40A/F41A mutant. Leptin Quadruple Antagonist Mouse Recombinant was purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Source

Escherichia coli.

Formulation

The Mouse Leptin Quadruple anatagonist 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

Leptin Quadruple Antagonist Mouse Recombinant is capable of inhibiting leptin-induced proliferation of BAF/3 cells stably transfected with the long form of human leptin receptor. Mouse Leptin Quadruple Antagonist also inhibits various leptin effects in several in vitro bioassays. The inhibitory activity of Mouse Leptin Quadruple Antagonist was increased 14 to 60 fold as measured by various criteria such as binding properties to human leptin binding domain and in vitro and in vivo bioassays as compared to mouse leptin antagonist.

  • Synonyms

    OB Protein, Obesity Protein, OBS, Obesity factor.

  • Physical Appearance

    White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

  • Stability

    Lyophilized Leptin Antagonist Quadruple Mouse Recombinant although stable at room temperature for several weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution at > 0.1mg/ml and up to 2mM and filter sterilization LEP Antagonist can be stored at 4°C 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 Leptin Antagonist Quadruple Mouse Recombinant in sterile water or sterile 0.4% NaHCO3 adjusted to pH 8-9, not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted with other aqueous solutions.

  • Amino Acid Sequence

    The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids of mouse super-active leptin antagonist was determined and was found to be Ala-Val-Pro-Ile-Gln.

  • Background

    Leptin is produced by adipocytes and its main part is to regulate long-term energy balance. Leptin is encoded by the LEP gene and effects mainly on leptin receptors in the cell mambrane of various cells in the human body. The leptin receptor is found on a wide range of cell types. The leptin receptor is a single-transmembrane-domain type 1 cytokine receptor. leptin levels influence satiety, appetite and triggers behaviours which lead to energy savings High leptin levels are interpreted by the brain that energy reserves are high, whereas low leptin levels means that energy reserves are low, in the process adapting the organism to starvation through a variety of metabolic, neurobiochemical, endocrine and behavioral change.

  • Protein content

    Protein quantization was carried out by UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.2 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution at pH 8.0. This value is calculated by the PC GENE computer analysis program of protein sequences (IntelliGenetics).
