Relevance |
May function as part of a signaling pathway that acts to regulate the size of the body fat depot. An increase in the level of LEP may act directly or indirectly on the CNS to inhibit food intake and/or regulate energy expenditure as part of a homeostatic mechanism to maintain constancy of the adipose mass. |
Reference |
A leptin missense mutation associated with hypogonadism and morbid obesity.Strobel A., Issad T., Camoin L., Ozata M., Strosberg A.D.Nat. Genet. 18:213-215(1998) |
Purity |
Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
Storage Buffer |
Tris-based buffer, 50% glycerol |
Storage |
The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20C/-80C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20C/-80C. |
Notes |
Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4C for up to one week. |
Function |
Key player in the regulation of energy balance and body weight control. Once released into the circulation, has central and peripheral effects by binding LEPR, found in many tissues, which results in the activation of several major signaling pathways |
Involvement in disease |
Leptin deficiency (LEPD) |

Leptin family |
Tissue Specificity |
Adipose tissue is the main source of leptin it is also produced by other peripheral tissues such as the skeletal muscle (PubMed:7789654, PubMed:16052473, PubMed:12448771). Expressed by intercalated and striated tracts of submandibular and parotid salivary gland intralobular ducts (PubMed:12448771). Detected by fundic epithelium of the gastric mucosa (PubMed:10896907). Secreted into blood and gastric juice (PubMed:10896907). |
