Leptin/OB (clone AT7E10), anti-human

Description
Human leptin is a 16-kDa nonglycosylated hormone that is produced in mature adipocytes. Leptin acts primarilyin the hypothalamus to reduce food intake and body weight. In ob/ob mice, the gene encoding leptin is mutated,resulting in morbid obesity and associated abnormalities, including hyperphagia, hypothermia, diabetes andinfertility. The function of leptin in regulating appetite and metabolism, as well as the possibility of usingleptin as a therapeutic agent, are currently under intense investigation.Alternative Names
