Leptin, human recombinant

Leptin, human recombinant is available at Gentaur for Next week delivery.

Adipose-derived hormone which regulates energy intake & energy expenditure

Biomolecule/Target: Leptin

Alternates names: OB Protein, Obesity Protein, OBS, Obesity factor.

Synonyms: OB Protein, Obesity Protein, OBS, Obesity factor.

Background Information: Leptin (Anti-Obesity Protein) is the protein product of the ob (obese) gene in mice and seems to be involved in appetite control. The ob gene is expressed in adipose tissue and is thought to regulate the body’s fat stores. Mice with the ob/ob genotype also develop a form of diabetes similar to type II (non-insulin dependent) diabetes. Human Leptin is a 16 kDa protein containing 146 amino acid residues.

Reconstitution Instructions: Add 15 mM sterile HCl (0.5 ml/1 mg vial or 5 ml/10 mg vial) to the vial. After the protein is completely dissolved, add 7.5 mM sterile NaOH (0.3 ml/1 mg vial or 3 ml/10 mg vial) to bring the pH to approximately 5.2.
