Leptin is secreted by white adipocytes and functions as part of a signaling pathway that can inhibit food intake and/or regulate energy expenditure to maintain constancy of the adipose mass. Leptin has a variety of other roles including endocrine functions, regulation of immune and inflammatory responses, hematopoiesis, angiogenesis and wound healing (Ref Entrez Gene).
Antibody recognizes rodent leptin with low cross reactivity to human leptin in WB and ELISA. Suggested dilution of 1:1,000-1:4,000. Biosensis recommends that the optimal working dilution should be determined by the end user.
