Biological ActivityRecombinant human leptin antagonist is capable of inhibiting leptin-induced proliferation of BAF/3 cells stably transfected with the long form of human leptin receptor. It also inhibits various leptin effects in several in vitro bioassays.
Species ReactivityHuman
ReconstitutionIt is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized recombinant human leptin antagonist in sterile 0.4% NaHCO3 adjusted, not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions preferably in presence of carrier protein.
SynonymsLep; ob; obese
DescriptionRecombinant 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).
