Product Overview
Description:
Recombinant Human Leptin Protein is expressed in HEK293 cells with a C-Fc tag. Native-like folding in mammalian HEK293 cells preserves proper post-translational modifications such as glycosylation and disulfide-bond formation, while the Fc fusion extends serum half-life and enables protein A/G purification, supporting stable dimeric receptor studies. Recombinant human leptin protein, Fc Tag, is a chimeric fusion protein consisting of human Leptin and an Fc region to mimic the natural homodimeric state. This format significantly extends the protein's half-life, making it ideal for prolonged cell culture treatments requiring high stability.

Summary:
Leptin (LEP) is an adipocyte-derived hormone secreted by white adipocytes into the systemic circulation, where it governs energy homeostasis. By binding its receptor in the brain, leptin activates downstream signaling that suppresses feeding and increases energy expenditure, while additionally exerting endocrine actions on immune and inflammatory responses, hematopoiesis, angiogenesis, reproduction, bone formation, and wound healing. Mutations within LEP or its regulatory regions cause severe and morbid obesity with hypogonadism in patients and contribute to the development and progression of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
