Leptin Recombinant Protein

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

The lyophilized Leptin 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. 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.
