Anti-Leptin antibody produced in chicken has been used for the immunohistochemistry study of mouse embryo and ovum. It is suitable for western blotting at a working dilution of 1:500 and for cell staining at a working dilution of 1:200.

Biochem/physiol Actions

LEP (leptin) encoded protein plays a key role in the regulation of body weight. It is secreted by white adipocytes. It has a key role in regulating the signaling pathway that can inhibit food intake and/or control energy expenditure to maintain constancy of the adipose mass. It is also involved in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses, hematopoiesis, angiogenesis and wound healing. Defects in this gene can cause a rare disease characterized by low levels of serum leptin, severe hyperphagia and severe obesity, and morbid obesity with hypogonadism.
