products type :
Recombinant Protein
products full name :
Porcine leptin
products short name :
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 porcine leptin was determined and was found to be Ala-Val-Pro-Ile-Trp
purity :
The purity of recombinant porcine leptin is greater than 98.0% as determined by:. (a) Gel filtration analysis. (b) Analysis by reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE gel. (c) Gel-filtration chromatography under non denaturing conditions.
form :
White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
storage stability :
Lyophilized recombinant porcine leptin although stable at room temperature for several weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18 degree C. Upon reconstitution of recombinant porcine leptin at > 0.1 mg/ml and up to 2 mg/ml and filter sterilization recombinant porcine leptin can be stored at +4 degree C.
other info1 :
Solubility: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized recombinant porcine leptin in sterile 0.4% NaHCO3 adjusted, not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. Protein Content: Protein quantitation of recombinant porcine leptin was carried out by UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.57 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). Dimers and Aggregates: The purified recombinant porcine leptin (16K) consists of > 97% monomers as determined by gel-filtration chromatography.
other info2 :
Endotoxin: The endotoxin content of recombinant porcine leptin is less than 0.1 ng/ug (IEU/ug) of porcine leptin. Formulation: The recombinant porcine leptin was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution with 0.02% NaHCO3. Biological Activity: recombinant porcine leptin is fully biologically active as evidenced by inducing proliferation of BAF/3 cells stably transfected with the long form of human leptin receptor.
