Description
Leptin Antagonist Quadruple Mutant Ovine Recombinant is a single non-glycosilated polypeptide chain containing 146 amino acids and additional Ala at N-terminus. The Ovine Leptin antagonist was mutated, resulting in D23L/L39A/D40A/F41A mutant. The Ovine Leptin antagonist is bound to 20 kDa mono-PEG at N-terminus, resulting in 35.6 kDa. The Ovine Leptin Quadruple anatagonist Pegylated runs as a 48 kDa due to enlarged hydrodymanic volume. Leptin Antagonist Quadruple Mutant Ovine Recombinant was purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Synonyms
Leptin qA Ovine
Introduction
/
Physical Appearance
White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
The Ovine Leptin Quadruple anatagonist was lyophilized from a concentrated (0.65mg/ml) solution with 0.003mM NaHCO 3 .
Stability
Lyophilized Leptin Antagonist Quadruple Mutant Ovine 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 2mM and filter sterilization LEP 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.
Purity
Greater than 95.0% as determined by: (a) Gel filtration analysis. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
Biological Activity
Pegylated Ovine Leptin Quadruple Antagonist inhibits leptin-induced proliferation of BAF/3 cells stably transfected with the long form of human leptin receptor. Pegylated recombinant Ovine leptin antagonist in vitro activity is 6-8 fold lower than the non-pegylated recombinant super Ovine leptin antagonist but is 15 fold higher as compared to pegylated recombinant super active ovine leptin antagonist.

Background
Leptin is mainly produced by adipocytes. Leptin’s main part is to regulate long-term energy balance. Leptin is encoded by the LEP gene. Leptin effects mostly on leptin receptors in the cell mambrane of various cells in the human body. The leptin receptor can be found on a various cell types. The leptin receptor is a single-transmembrane-domain type 1 cytokine receptor. leptin levels influence satiety, appetite and triggers behaviours which save energy. High leptin levels are interpreted by the brain that energy reserves are high, whereas low leptin levels means that energy reserves are low, in the process adapting the organism to starvation through a variety of metabolic, neurobiochemical, endocrine and behavioral change.
Solubility
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Leptin Antagonist Quadruple Mutant Ovine Recombinant in sterile water or sterile 0.4% NaHCO3adjusted to pH 8-9, not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted with other aqueous solutions.
