| Description | Leptin (aka OB protein, or Obesity factor protein) is a 16-kDa peptide hormone secreted from white adipocytes and implicated in the regulation of food intake and energy balance. Leptin provides the key afferent signal from fat cells in the feedback system that controls body fat stores.:Leptin (humanLeptin (aka OB protein, or Obesity factor protein) is a 16-kDa peptide hormone secreted from white adipocytes and implicated in the regulation of food intake and energy balance. Leptin provides the key afferent signal from fat cells in the feedback system that controls body fat stores.:Leptin (human), (recombinant) is produced in E.Coli as a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 146 amino acids and having a molecular mass of approximately 16 kDa. The Leptin protein is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.:Biological Activity is evidenced by inducing proliferation of BAF/3 cells stably transfected with the long form of human leptin receptor.Product descriptionEncoded 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. Recombinant Human Leptin is a 16.0 kDa protein containing 147 amino acid residues.SourceE.coliSynonymsObesity protein (OB)AA SequenceMVPIQKVQDD TKTLIKTIVT RINDISHTQS VSSKQKVTGL DFIPGLHPIL TLSKMDQTLA VYQQILTSMP SRNVIQISND LENLRDLLHV LAFSKSCHLP WASGLETLDS LGGVLEASGY STEVVALSRL QGSLQDMLWQ LDLSPGCPurity:≥ 97% by SDS-PAGE gelBiological ActivityFully biologically active when compared to standard.
