SKU: orb426844

Description

Recombinant of human Leptin tA protein

Research Area

Metabolism Research

Images & Validation

• Application Notes:
  Protein content: Protein quantitation was carried out by UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.88 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution at pH 8.0. This value is calculated by the PC GENE computer analysis program of protein sequences (IntelliGenetics)

Key Properties

• Source: Escherichia coli
• Biological Activity: 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.
• Purity: Greater than 98.0% as determined by:(a) Gel filtration analysis.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
• Protein Sequence: The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Ala-Val-Pro-Ile-Gln

Storage & Handling

• Storage: Stability: 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 mg/ml 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
• Form/Appearance: White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
• Buffer/Preservatives: The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution with 0.0045mM NaHCO3.
• Expiration Date: 6 months from date of receipt.
