Catalogue numberCYT-502 SynonymsOB Protein, Obesity Protein, OBS, Obesity factor.IntroductionA 16-kDa peptide hormone secreted from white adipocytes and implicated in the regulation of food intake and energy balance. Leptin provides the key afferent signal from fat cells in the feedback system that controls body fat stores.DescriptionLeptin Bovine Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 146 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 16 kDa.The Leptin is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.SourceEscherichia Coli.Physical AppearanceSterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.FormulationThe protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution with 0.0045mM NaHCO3.SolubilityIt is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Leptin in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.StabilityLyophilized Leptin although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Leptin should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.PurityGreater than 95.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by SEC-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.Amino acid sequenceThe sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Ala-Val-Pro-Ile-Arg.Biological ActivityBiological active as evidenced by inducing proliferation of BAF/3 cells stably transfected with the long form of human leptin receptor.Protein contentProtein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.19 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by the PC GENEcomputer analysis program of protein sequences (IntelliGenetics). 2. Analysis by RP-HPLC,using calibrated solution of Leptin Bovine as a Reference Standard.Safety Data SheetSDSUsageProSpec"s products are furnished for LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. The product may not be used as drugs, agricultural or pesticidal products, food additives or household chemicals.
