Description

Recombinant Protein

PeproTech's Recombinant Human Leptin Receptor is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain of 818 amino acid residues, corresponding to the human OB-Re isoform, and has a calculated molecular weight of approximately 93.5 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, Recombinant Human Leptin Receptor migrates with an apparent molecular mass of approximately 130-150 kDa by SDS-PAGE gel, under reducing and non-reducing conditions. This product is shipped at ambient temperature. For storage, handling and reconstitution information, please see the lot-specific Certificate of Analysis

The leptin (OB-R) receptor is a member of the cytokine receptor superfamily which plays an important role in mammalian body weight homeostasis and energy balance. Ligand-induced activation of the OB-R by the adipose tissue-secreted hormone, leptin, appears to activate downstream signaling events through the Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) pathway. Leptin can homo-dimerize OB-R extracellular domains while downstream signaling events are initiated upon homo-dimerization of OB-R intracellular domains. Several isoforms of the OB-R which differ in length and signaling capabilities have been reported. RNA transcripts encoding the OB-R long form have been found in the choroid plexus and in the hypothalamus which has been proposed as a control center for satiety and energy expenditure. Mutations in either the mouse OB-R (db) or leptin (ob) genes have been shown to result in early-onset obesity. Metabolic abnormalities attributable to these genotypes include hypercorticoidemia, hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, altered CNS activity, reduced metabolic rate of brown adipose tissue, and a large increase in white adipose tissue.
