Recombinant Human Leptin (26106P-5.0mg)

Recombinant human leptin is a bioactive protein hormone predominantly secreted by adipocytes and plays a critical role in regulating body weight, appetite, and energy metabolism. Leptin acts through specific leptin receptors in the hypothalamus to suppress food intake and promote energy expenditure. This adipokine also influences immune response, reproductive function, and hematopoiesis. Recombinant leptin is widely used in obesity research, metabolic disorder studies, and endocrinology applications. Disruptions in leptin signaling or genetic leptin deficiency are associated with severe early-onset obesity, making recombinant human leptin an essential reagent for studying metabolic pathways and developing potential therapeutic interventions.
