- BACKGROUND
Description | 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 isletsβ-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. |
---|---|
BiologicalActivity | 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. |
Authenticity | Verified by N-terminal and Mass Spectrometry analyses (when applicable). |
Endotoxin | Endotoxin level is <0.1 ng/ µg of protein (<1EU/ µg). |
Protein Content | Verified by UV Spectroscopy and/or SDS-PAGE gel. |
Storage | -20°C |
Precautions | Recombinant Human Nesfatin-1 is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
