Background Information
The hormone leptin, secreted predominantly from adipose tissue, plays a crucial role in the regulation of numerous neuroendocrine functions, from energy homeostasis to reproduction (PMID: 22249808). Leptin acts through the leptin receptor (LEPR, also known as OB-R), a single-transmembrane-domain receptor of the cytokine receptor family. On ligand binding, LEPR mediates signaling through JAK2/STAT3 (PMID: 9102398). LEPR plays an important role in the regulation of glucose homeostasis via feeding and adiposity. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms of LEPR have been described.
