Leptin Ovine Recombinant, MTS tag

Product Name: Leptin Ovine Recombinant, MTS tag
Synonyms: OB Protein, Obesity Protein, OBS, Obesity factor.
Description: Leptin Ovine MTS tagged Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 157 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 17.5 kDa.The Leptin is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. The membrane translocating sequence Tag is composed of 10 amino acids Val-Leu-Leu-Pro-Val-Leu-Leu-Ala-Ala-Pro located at the N-terminus.
Uniprot Accesion Number: Q28603
Amino Acid Sequence:The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Ala-Val-Pro-Ile-Arg.
Source: Escherichia Coli.
Physical Appearance and Stability: Lyophilized Leptin Ovine MTS tagged although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18C. Upon reconstitution Leptin should be stored at 4C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Formulation and Purity: The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution with 0.02% NaHCO3. Greater than 98.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by SEC-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
Application:
Solubility: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Leptin in sterile 0.02% NaHCO3 not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Biological Activity: Biological active as evidenced by inducing proliferation of BAF/3 cells stably transfected with the long form of human leptin receptor.
Shipping Format and Condition: Lyophilized powder at room temperature.
