General description

Leptin is an adipokine secreted by the adipose tissue. It is also found in the primary and secondary lymphoid organs. Leptin has a 3D structure made up of four α-helix bundle motifs. It participates in regulating neuroendocrine function and energy homeostasis. Leptin also participates in physiological processes such as reproduction, angiogenesis, and hemopoiesis. Rat Leptin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit is used for the non-radioactive quantification of leptin in rat sera. Plasma samples may also be used but application to samples of other biological fluids may need validation by the user.
