Storage_stability
Lyophilized recombinant ovine leptin R4 degree C mutant although stable at room temperature for several weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18 degree C. Upon reconstitution of recombinant ovine leptin at > 0.1 mg/ml and up to 2 mg/ml and filter sterilization recombinant ovine leptin can be stored at 4 degree C or even room temperature for several weeks. At lower concentration of recombinant ovine leptin addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is suggested. Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

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.
