Background
Encoded by the ob (obese) gene, Leptin is an adipose-derived cytokine that suppresses appetite and increases thermogenesis. Leptin exerts its anorectic effect via signaling through a hypothalamic receptor termed OB-R. Leptin has been shown to reduce body weight, food consumption, and plasma glucose levels in various in vivo models. Recombinant Rat Leptin is a 16.2 kDa protein containing 147 amino acid residues.

Storage Conditions
The lyophilized Leptin recombinant protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20˚ C. Reconstituted Leptin is stable for at least 3 months when stored in working aliquots with a carrier protein at -20˚ C. As with any protein, exposing Leptin recombinant protein to repeated freeze / thaw cycles is not recommended. When working with proteins care should be taken to keep recombinant protein at a cool and stable temperature.
