Leptin Receptor (human) EIA Kit

Leptin, the product of the ob (obese) gene, is produced mainly in adipose tissue and is considered to play an important role in appetite control, fat metabolism and body weight regulation. The primary effect of leptin appears to be mediated by leptin receptors expressed mainly in the hypothalamus. This Enzyme Immunometric Assay (EIA) is based on a double-antibody sandwich technique specific for the human leptin receptor. The assay utilizes plates coated with a polyclonal antibody specific for the human leptin receptor and a HRP-conjugated polyclonal antibody for detection.
