Contributor Information

  • Name Abdo Alnabulsi
  • Institute Vertebrate Antibodies Limited

Tool Details

  • Tool name: Anti-Leptin
  • Tool type: Antibodies
  • Tool sub-type: Primary Antibody
  • Class: Polyclonal
  • Conjugate: Unconjugated
  • Reactivity: Nile Tilapia ; European Bass ; Gilt Head Bream
  • Host: Rabbit
  • Molecular weight of the target: 20 kDa
  • Application: ELISA ; WB
  • Description: Leptin is a hormone secreted by adipocytes and regulates energy homeostasis, inflammation and neuroendocrine processes, synaptic formation and memory condensation. Leptin is known to inhibit appetite and promote energy metabolism in vertebrates. Leptin resistance (LR) commonly occurs in diet-induced obesity (DIO) in mammals. Fish leptin has similar functions in the regulation of food intake and body weight, development, but also in the regulation of the stress axis and acclimation process to for instance low oxygen levels in the water. Fish leptin can be used as health marker to monitor stocks food intake and body weight.
  • Immunogen: Ovalbumin-conjugated synthetic peptide. Peptide immunogen is conserved in sea bass, sea bream and tilapia.
  • Research area: Cell biology; Immunology

  • For Research Use Only
