Leptin tA Recombinant Protein

Source : Escherichia coli. Leptin Antagonist Triple Mutant Human Recombinant is a single non-glycosilated polypeptide chain containing 146 amino and additional Ala at N-terminus acids and having a molecular weight of 16 kDa, Leptin was mutated, resulting in L39A/D40A/F41A. Leptin Antagonist Triple Mutant Human Recombinant was purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Product Specifications

Purification

Greater than 98.0% as determined by: (a) Gel filtration analysis. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

Components

The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/mL) solution with 0.0045mM NaHCO3.

Storage Conditions

Lyophilized Leptin Antagonist Triple Mutant Human Recombinant although stable at room temperature for several weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution at > 0.1 mg/ml and up to 2 mM and filter sterilization Leptin mutant can be stored at 4°C or even room temperature for several weeks making it suitable for long term infusion studies using osmotic pumps. At lower concentration addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is suggested. Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Applications Notes

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Leptin Antagonist Triple Mutant Human Recombinant in sterile 0.4% NaHCO3adjusted to pH 8-9, not less than 100μg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. The Leptin triple antagonist is capable of inhibiting leptin-induced proliferation of BAF/3 cells stably transfected with the long form of human leptin receptor. It also inhibits various leptin effects in several in vitro bioassays.
