Description
Recombinant Fish Leptin-A protein
Source
Escherichia Coli
Field of Research
Metabolism Research
Purity
Greater than 95.0% as determined by: (a) Gel filtration analysis. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
Bioactivity
Tilapia leptins were found to be biologically active in promoting proliferation of BAF/3 cells stably transfected with the long form of human leptin receptor, but their activity was lower than that of mammalian leptin. Furthermore, the Tilapia leptins were biologically active in promoting STAT‐LUC activation in COS7 cells transfected with Tilapia leptin receptor but not in cells transfected with human leptin receptor. Tilapia Leptin A was more active than Tilapia Leptin B.
Form
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Solubility
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Leptin-A Tilapia in sterile water or 0.4% NaHCO3 adjusted to pH 8-9, not less than 100μg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Storage Conditions
Stability: Lyophilized Leptin-A Tilapia although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Leptin-A Tilapia should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) . Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles
Notes
For research use only.
Applications Notes
Protein content: Protein quantitation was carried out by UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 1.33 for 1 mg/ml Leptin-A Tilapia as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution at pH 8.0. This value is calculated by the DNAman computer analysis program of protein sequences
Preservative
Lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution containing NaHCO3 at 1:2 salt: protein ratio.
AA Sequence
The first six N-terminal amino acids of recombinant Tilapia leptin A are Ala-Pro-Leu-Pro-Val-Glu
