Recombinant Pegylated Mouse Leptin Triple Antagonist, Pegylated

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 ca. 16 kDa.
The Mouse Leptin antagonist was mutated, resulting in L39A/D40A/F41A mutant.
The Mouse Leptin antagonist is bound to 20 kDa mono-PEG at N-terminus, resulting in 35.6 kDa. The Mouse Leptin triple anatagonist runs as a 48 kDa.
Leptin Antagonist Triple Mutant Mouse Recombinant was purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Greater than 99.0% as determined by:
(a) Gel filtration analysis.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

Leptin Antagonist Triple Mutant Mouse Recombinant half-life in circulation after SC injection was over 20 hours.
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. Leptin Antagonist Triple Mutant Mouse Recombinant in vitro activity is 5-6 fold lower than the non-pegylated antagonist, though in vivo it has profound weight gain effect (as compared to the non-pegylated antagonist), resulting mainly from increased food intake.
