Description

Human Leptin Mutant D23L is a single non-glycosilated polypeptide chain containing 146 amino and additional Ala at N-terminus and having a molecular mass of ~ 16 kDa. Leptin Mutant was purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Source

Escherichia coli.

Formulation

Leptin Mutant was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution with 0.0045mM NaHCO3.

Purity

Greater than 95.0% as determined by:

(a) Gel filtration analysis.

(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

Biological Activity

Human Leptin Mutant D23L is fully biologically active as evidenced by inducing proliferation of BAF/3 cells stably transfected with the long form of human leptin receptor.

More Info

  • Synonyms

    OB Protein, Obesity Protein, OBS, Obesity factor.

  • Physical Appearance

    White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

  • Stability

    Lyophilized Human Leptin Mutant D23L although stable at room temperature for several weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution at > 0.1 Leptin mutant mg/ml and up to 2mM and filter sterilization LEP mutant 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 Mutant in sterile water or sterile 0.4% NaHCO3adjusted 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 recombinant human leptin was determined and was found to be Ala-Val-Pro-Ile-Gln.

  • Background

    Leptin’s main part is to regulate long-term energy balance. Leptin is a hormone which mainly produced by adipocytes and is encoded by the LEP gene. Leptin 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 behaviors 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.
