Leptin polyclonal, anti-mouse

Quantity: 100 µl

Description:
Leptin is involved in the signaling pathway that regulates the size of the body fat depot. An increase in the level of leptin 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. Defects in the leptin gene may be a cause of autosomal recessive obesity.

Synonyms:
OB Gene Product, Obese Factor

Isotype: Rabbit Polyclonal

Immunogen:
Recombinant mouse leptin.

Form: Purified, in 0.2um-filtered solution in PBS, pH 7.4. Contains no preservatives.

Reactivity: mouse

Applications: ELISA, Immunoprecipitation, Western Blot

Working DIlution: Optimal conditions must be determined individually for each application.
