Nutrition has a clear effect on the reproductive development of cattle, with leptin being a candidate for a likely link between nutrition and reproduction by signaling body fatness to the hypothalamus and therefore allowing puberty to occur. Our objective with this study is to clone the coding region of the bovine leptin gene and to produce the recombinant bovine leptin in Pichia pastoris…
