Product Overview
Description:
Recombinant Human Leptin Protein is expressed in E. coli with an N-6×His tag. Produced in a cost-effective E. coli expression system, and the His-tag enables straightforward purification and detection. Recombinant human leptin protein-tag is an engineered metabolic cytokine for streamlined detection and purification. It serves as a highly reliable tool for protein-protein interaction analysis (such as SPR/BLI) and as a robust positive control in Western Blot and ELISA development. It is suitable for a range of in vitro and cell-based research applications, including protein characterization, binding, and functional studies.

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.
