Characteristics
-
Purified recombinant Human Leptin protein
Expression System: E.coli
Bioactivity: PeproTech's Mouse 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
- < 0.1 ng per µg (1 EU/µg).

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.
