Purity

The purity of MYS-ovine recombinant leptin is greater than 98.0% as determined by:(a) Gel filtration analysis.(b) Analysis by reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE gel.(c) Gel-filtration chromatography under non denaturing conditions.
Form

White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Storage_stability

Lyophilized MTS-ovine recombinant leptin although stable at room temperature for several weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18 degree C. Upon reconstitution of MTS-ovine recombinant leptin at > 0.1 hLEP mg/ml and up to 2 mg and filter sterilization hLEP can be stored at +4 degree C.
Gene

Human or mouse Leptin (from Greek λεπτός leptos, "thin") the "satiety hormone", is a hormone made by adipose cells that helps to regulate energy balance by inhibiting hunger. Leptin is opposed by the actions of the hormone ghrelin, the "hunger hormone". Both hormones act on receptors in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus to regulate appetite to achieve energy homeostasis. ELISA kits and peptides and antibodies are available.
