Horse leptin
other names :
leptin; Leptin; leptin; obesity factor; leptin; Obesity factor
other gene names :
Lep; Lep; OB; obese; Ob
uniprot entry name :
LEP_RAT
sequence :
The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids of recombinant horse leptin was determined and was found to be Ala-Val-Pro-Ile-Gln
purity :
The purity of recombinant horse leptin is greater than 99.0% as determined by:. (a) Gel filtration analysis. (b) Analysis by reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE gel.
form :
The recombinant protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution with 0.0045mM NaHCO3. Physical Appearance: White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
storage stability :
Lyophilized recombinant horse leptin although stable at room temperature for several weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18C. Upon reconstitution at > 0.1 recombinant horse leptin mg/ml and up to 2 mg and filter sterilization recombinant horse leptin can be stored at +4C.
other info1 :
Dimers and Aggregates: The purified racombinant horse leptin (16K) consists of > 97% monomers as determined by gel-filtration chromatography. Biological Activity: MyBioSource's recombinant horse leptin is fully biologically active as evidenced by inducing proliferation of BAF/3 cells stably transfected with the long form of human leptin receptor.
other info2 :
Endotoxin: The endotoxin content of recombinant horse leptin is less than 0.1 ng/ug (IEU/ug) of horse leptin . Protein Content: Protein quantitation of recombinant horse leptin was carried out by UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.20 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). Solubility: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized recombinant horse leptin in sterile water or 0.4% NaHCO3 adjusted tp pH 8-9, not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

ncbi summary :
involved in regulation of body weight, and may have a role in angiogenesis [RGD, Feb 2006]
uniprot summary :
Function: May function as part of a signaling pathway that acts to regulate the size of the body fat depot. An increase in the level of Lep may act directly or indirectly on the CNS to inhibit food intake and/or regulate energy expenditure as part of a homeostatic mechanism to maintain constancy of the adipose mass. Subcellular location: Secreted . Probable. Sequence similarities: Belongs to the leptin family.
