Description

Leptin Salamander Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 146 amino and additional Ala at N-terminus acids and having a molecular mass of 16kDa. The Salamander Leptin is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Product Specs

Introduction
Leptin is a 16-kDa peptide hormone primarily produced by white adipocytes. It plays a crucial role in regulating energy balance and food intake by signaling the status of body fat stores to the brain.
Description
Recombinant Salamander Leptin, expressed in E. coli, is a non-glycosylated polypeptide chain consisting of 146 amino acids and an additional alanine residue at the N-terminus. With a molecular weight of 16 kDa, it is purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
Sterile, white, lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
The lyophilized Salamander Leptin is supplied in a concentrated solution (1 mg/ml) containing 0.0045 mM NaHCO3.
Solubility
To reconstitute the lyophilized Salamander Leptin, it is recommended to dissolve it in sterile 0.4% NaHCO3 (pH 9) at a concentration of at least 100 μg/ml. The reconstituted solution can be further diluted in other aqueous solutions as needed.
Stability
Lyophilized Salamander Leptin remains stable at room temperature for up to 3 weeks; however, it is recommended to store it desiccated below -18°C. After reconstitution, Leptin should be stored at 4°C for 2-7 days. For long-term storage, freezing below -18°C is recommended. To enhance stability during storage, the addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is advised. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
The purity of Salamander Leptin is greater than 99.0%, as determined by Gel-Filtration analysis and SDS-PAGE analysis.
Biological Activity
The biological activity of Salamander Leptin is assessed by its ability to stimulate the proliferation of BAF/3 cells stably transfected with the long form of the human leptin receptor. Its activity in this assay is comparable to that of mouse leptin, as documented in Salomon et al. (2006) Protein Expression and Purification 47, 128–136.
Protein Content
Protein quantification is performed using UV spectroscopy at 280 nm. An absorbance value of 0.104 is employed as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1 mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated using the PC GENE computer analysis program for protein sequences (IntelliGenetics).
Synonyms
OB Protein, Obesity Protein, OBS, Obesity factor, Leptin.
Source
Escherichia Coli.
Amino Acid Sequence
The sequence of the ten N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Ala-Ile-Met-Val-Asp-Gln-Leu-Arg-Met-Asp.

Product Science Overview

What is Leptin Salamander Recombinant?

Leptin Salamander Recombinant is a recombinant form of leptin derived from salamanders. It is produced in Escherichia coli (E. coli) and is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 146 amino acids, with an additional alanine at the N-terminus. The molecular mass of this recombinant protein is approximately 16 kDa .

Production and Purification

The production of Leptin Salamander Recombinant involves the expression of the leptin gene in E. coli. The recombinant protein is then purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques to ensure high purity. The final product is a sterile, lyophilized (freeze-dried) white powder .

Physical and Chemical Properties
  • Formulation: The lyophilized leptin is typically reconstituted in a sterile solution of 0.4% NaHCO3 at pH 9, at a concentration of not less than 100 µg/ml. This solution can then be further diluted for various applications .
  • Stability: The lyophilized form is stable at room temperature for up to three weeks but should be stored desiccated below -18°C for long-term storage. Once reconstituted, it should be stored at 4°C for short-term use (2-7 days) and below -18°C for long-term use. It is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) to prevent freeze-thaw cycles .
  • Purity: The purity of Leptin Salamander Recombinant is greater than 99.0%, as determined by gel-filtration and SDS-PAGE analysis .
Biological Activity

Leptin Salamander Recombinant is biologically active and can induce the proliferation of BAF/3 cells stably transfected with the long form of the human leptin receptor. Its activity in this assay is comparable to that of mouse leptin .

Applications

Leptin Salamander Recombinant is primarily used for laboratory research purposes. It is not intended for use as a drug, agricultural or pesticidal product, food additive, or household chemical .

Safety and Handling

As with all recombinant proteins, proper safety and handling procedures should be followed. The product should be used in a controlled laboratory environment and handled by trained personnel .
