  • Function
    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.
  • Involvement in disease
    Defects in LEP may be a cause of obesity (OBESITY) [MIM:601665]. It is a condition characterized by an increase of body weight beyond the limitation of skeletal and physical requirements, as the result of excessive accumulation of body fat.
  • Sequence similarities
    Belongs to the leptin family.
  • Cellular localization
    Secreted.
  • Information by UniProt

What is the buffer constituants of the solution the protein is in before lyophilizing? Doing mass spec and need to make a compatable buffer.

Thank you for calling Abcam.

The lot of Rat Leptin that you received was lyophilized from 10mM Sodium Citrate, pH 4.0.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
