Description / human Leptin antagonist (mutant L39A/D40A/F41A) protein
Recombinant human leptin is one polypeptide chain containing 146 amino and additional Ala at N-terminus acids and having a molecular mass of ~ 16 kDa. Recombinant human leptin was mutated, resulting in L39A/D40A/F41A mutant that was purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Preparation of leptin antagonists was recently published in Biochemical Journal (Niv-Spector et al, Biochem. J 291;221-230 (2005).
