Animal-Free Recombinant Murine Leptin 0 ReviewsSubmit a Review Product Details Catalog Number: AF-450-31 Description: Encoded by the ob (obese) gene, Leptin is an adipose-derived cytokine that suppresses appetite and increases thermogenesis. Leptin exerts its anorectic effect via signaling through a hypothalamic receptor termed OB-R. Leptin has been shown to reduce body weight, food consumption, and plasma glucose levels in various in vivo models. Recombinant Murine Leptin is a 16.2 kDa protein containing 147 amino acid residues. Manufactured using all Animal-Free reagents.
