Nesfatin-1, human recombinant
Regulates energy metabolism in a Leptin independent manner
Product Overview
Product Name: Nesfatin-1, human recombinant
Alternate Name/Synonyms: Nesfatin 1
Gene Symbol: NEFA
Accession #: P80303
Gene ID: 4925
Source: E. Coli
Appearance: Lyophilized powder
Physical Form Description: Sterile filtered through a 0.2 micron filter. Lyophilized from 0.1% TFA
Molecular Weight: 9.7 kDa
Purity by SDS-PAGE: ≥98%
Purity by HPLC: N/A
Endotoxin Level: < 0.1 ng/μg of protein (<1EU/μg).
Biological Activity: Determined by an in vivo assay using healthy wild type male mice (C57BL/6J). Mice were treated via intraperitoneal injection once at a dose of 4μg Nesfatin-1/gm of body weight. Significant effects on body weight and food consumption were observed relative to saline-treated controls.
Reconstitution Instructions: Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Do not vortex. This solution can be stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 week. For extended storage, it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) and store in working aliquots at -20°C to -80°C.
Storage Temp.: -20°C
Shipping: Gel pack
Background Information: Nesfatin-1 is a metabolic polypeptide encoded in the N-terminal region of the precursor protein, Nucleobindin2 (NUCB2). Originally identified as a hypothalamic neuropeptide, Nesfatin-1 is also expressed in other areas of the brain, and in pancreatic islets β-cells, gastric endocrine cells and adipocytes. Nesfatin-1 suppresses food intake and can regulate energy metabolism in a Leptin independent manner. Recombinant human Nesfatin-1 is a 9.7 kDa protein containing 82 amino acid residues.
