Description
Leptin Antagonist Triple Mutant D23L Mouse Recombinant is a single non-glycosilated polypeptide chain containing 146 amino and additional Ala at N-terminus. The Leptin antagonist was mutated, resulting in L39A/D40A/F41A mutant. The Mouse Leptin antagonist is bound to 20 kDa mono-PEG at N-terminus, resulting in 35.6 kDa. The Mouse Leptin triple anatagonist runs as a 48 kDa. Leptin Antagonist Triple Mutant Mouse Recombinant was purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Synonyms
OB Protein, Obesity Protein, OBS, Obesity factor.
Introduction
/
Physical Appearance
White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
The Mouse Leptin triple anatagonist was lyophilized from a concentrated (0.65mg/ml) solution with 0.003mM NaHCO 3 .
Stability
Lyophilized Leptin Antagonist Triple Mutant Mouse Recombinant although stable at room temperature for several weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution at > 0.1mg/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 99.0% as determined by: (a) Gel filtration analysis. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
Biological Activity
Leptin Antagonist Triple Mutant D23L Mouse Recombinant is capable of stimulating proliferation of BAF/3 cells stably transfected with the long form of human leptin receptor. Its in vitro activity is only slightly lower than the non-pegylated recombinant mouse leptin but in vivo it has profound weight reducing effect (as compared to the non-pegylated recombinant mouse leptin), resulting mainly from reduced food intake.

Background
Leptin is a hormone which mainly produced by adipocytes . Leptin’s main part is to regulate long-term energy balance. Leptin is encoded by the LEP gene. Leptin effects mainly on leptin receptors in the cell mambrane of various cells in the human body. The leptin receptor is found on a wide range of cell types. The leptin receptor is a single-transmembrane-domain type 1 cytokine receptor. leptin levels influence satiety, appetite and triggers behaviors which lead to energy savings 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 Triple Mutant Mouse 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.
