Characteristics
- Murine Leptin has been shown to be biologically active in two different mouse obesity models, ob/ob and NZO. Both strains of mice were treated via intraperitoneal injection once daily at a dose of 5 μg Leptin/gm of body weight for 14 days. Significant effects on body weight , food consumption, and plasma glucose levels were observed to saline - treated controls
-
Endotoxin Level
- Endotoxin level is less than 0.1 ng per μg (1 EU/μg).

Handling Advice
- As with any protein, exposing Leptin recombinant protein to repeated freeze / thaw cycles is not recommended. When working with proteins care should be taken to keep recombinant protein at a cool and stable temperature.
-
Storage
- -20 °C
-
Storage Comment
- The recombinant protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20 °C. Reconstituted Leptin is stable for at least 3 months when stored in working aliquots with a carrier protein at -20 °C.
-
Expiry Date
- 24 months

Background
- Encoded by the ob (obese) gene, Leptin is an adipose-derived cytokine that suppresses appetite and increases thermogenesis. Leptin exerts its anorectic effect via signaling through a hypothalamic receptor termed OB-R. Leptin has been shown to reduce body weight, food consumption, and plasma glucose levels in various in vivo models. Recombinant murine Leptin is a 16.2 kDa protein containing 147 amino acid residues.
