Chicken Leptin Protein

SKU: orb426825

Description

Recombinant of chicken Leptin protein

Images & Validation

• Application Notes:
  Protein content: Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.19 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by the PC GENE computer analysis program of protein sequences (IntelliGenetics). 2. Analysis by RP-HPLC,using calibrated solution of Leptin Chicken as a Reference Standard

Key Properties

• Source: Escherichia Coli
• Biological Activity: Biological active as evidenced by inducing proliferation of BAF/3 cells stably transfected with the long form of human leptin receptor. Its activity is however 5-10 fold lower as compared to mammalian leptins.
• Protein Sequence: The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Ala-Val-Pro-Cys-Gln. Recombinant Chicken leptin was produced according to the a.a. sequence published by the groups of Taouis & McMutry, see Raver et al. Protein Expr Purif. 1998 Dec; 14(3):403-8
• Purity: Greater than 95.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by SEC-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

Storage & Handling

• Storage: Stability: Lyophilized Leptin although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Leptin should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles
• Form/Appearance: Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
• Buffer/Preservatives: The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution with 0.0045mM NaHCO3.
