Purity
The purity od recombinant mouse pegylated leptin is greater than 99.0% as determined by:(a) Gel filtration analysis.(b) Analysis by reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE gel.
-
Form
White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
-
Storage_stability
Lyophilized recombinant mouse pegylated leptin although stable at room temperature for several weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18 degree C. Upon reconstitution at > 0.1 recombinant mouse pegylated leptin mg/ml and up to 2 mg/ml and filter sterilization recombinant mouse pegylated leptin can be stored at 4 degree C or even room temperature for several weeks making it suitable for long term infusion studies using osmotic pumps. At lower concentration of recombinant mouse pegylated 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.

Test
Mouse or mice from the Mus musculus species are used for production of mouse monoclonal antibodies or mabs and as research model for humans in your lab. Mouse are mature after 40 days for females and 55 days for males. The female mice are pregnant only 20 days and can give birth to 10 litters of 6-8 mice a year. Transgenic, knock-out, congenic and inbread strains are known for C57BL/6, A/J, BALB/c, SCID while the CD-1 is outbred as strain.
