Description:
Leptin Antagonist Triple Mutant Mouse Recombinant is a single non-glycosilated polypeptide chain containing 146 amino and additional Ala at N-terminus acids and having a molecular mass of ~ 16 kDa, LEP was mutated, resulting in L39A/D40A/F41A mutant. Leptin Antagonist Triple Mutant Mouse Recombinant was purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source:
Escherichia coli.
Amino Acid Sequence:
The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Ala-Val-Pro-Ile-Gln.
Purity:
Greater than 99.0% as determined by:
(a) Gel filtration analysis.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
Solubility:
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Leptin Antagonist Triple Mutant Mouse Recombinant in sterile water or sterile 0.4% NaHCO3adjusted to pH 8-9, not less than 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted with other aqueous solutions.
Formulation:
The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (0.65mg/ml) solution with 0.003mM NaHCO3.
Stability:
Lyophilized Leptin Antagonist Triple Mutant Mouse Recombinant although stable at room temperature for several weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18 °C. Upon reconstitution at > 0.1 Leptin mutant mg/ml and up to 2 mM and filter sterilization LEP mutant can be stored at 4 °C or even room temperature for several weeks making it suitable for long term infusion studies using osmotic pumps. At lower concentration addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is suggested.
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Activity:
Denovo Biotechnology's Leptin Antagonist Triple Mutant Mouse Recombinant 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.
Physical Appearance:
White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Protein Content:
Protein quantization was carried out by UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.21 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution at pH 8.0. This value is calculated by the PC GENE computer analysis program of protein sequences (IntelliGenetics).
Usage:
Denovo Biotechnology's products are furnished for LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. The product may not be used as drugs, agricultural or pesticidal products, food additives or household chemicals.
