Leptin Mouse (D23L)

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

Escherichia coli.

White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

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

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Leptin Mouse 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.

Lyophilized Leptin 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 Mouse Leptin can be stored at 4°C for 2-3 months.

Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Greater than 95.0% as determined by: 

(a) Gel filtration analysis.

(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids is Ala-Val-Pro-Ile-Gln

Leptin Mouse is able to induce proliferation of BA/F3 cells stably transfected with the long form of human leptin receptor but its affinity toward this receptor was ~ 25-fold higher compared to non-mutated mouse leptin.

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. This value was calculated by DNA man program.

Leptin’s main part is to regulate long-term energy balance. Leptin produced mainly by adipocytes and is encoded by the LEP gene. Leptin effects mainly on leptin receptors in the cell mambrane of different cells in the human body. The leptin receptor is found on various 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.
