Protein Information
Name Lepr
Synonyms Db, Obr
Function Receptor for hormone LEP/leptin (Probable) (PubMed:11861497). On ligand binding, mediates LEP central and peripheral effects through the activation of different signaling pathways such as JAK2/STAT3 and MAPK cascade/FOS (PubMed:10799542, PubMed:25383904, PubMed:11923481, PubMed:11861497). In the hypothalamus, LEP acts as an appetite- regulating factor that induces a decrease in food intake and an increase in energy consumption by inducing anorexinogenic factors and suppressing orexigenic neuropeptides, also regulates bone mass and secretion of hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal hormones (PubMed:10660043, PubMed:12594516). In the periphery, increases basal metabolism, influences reproductive function, regulates pancreatic beta-cell function and insulin secretion, is pro-angiogenic and affects innate and adaptive immunity (PubMed:25383904, PubMed:11923481). Control of energy homeostasis and melanocortin production (stimulation of POMC and full repression of AgRP transcription) is mediated by STAT3 signaling, whereas distinct signals regulate NPY and the control of fertility, growth and glucose homeostasis (PubMed:12594516). Involved in the regulation of counter-regulatory response to hypoglycemia by inhibiting neurons of the parabrachial nucleus (PubMed:25383904). Has a specific effect on T lymphocyte responses, differentially regulating the proliferation of naive and memory T-cells. Leptin increases Th1 and suppresses Th2 cytokine production (PubMed:9732873).
Cellular Location Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P48357}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P48357} Basolateral cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P48357}
Tissue Location Isoform A: highest level of expression in lung and kidney, also present in heart, brain, spleen, liver, muscle, choroid plexus and hypothalamus. Isoform B: highest levels of expression in hypothalamus and lower levels in brain, testes and adipose tissue Expressed by neurons of the parabrachial nucleus (PubMed:25383904) Expressed by peripheral blood mononuclear cells and CD4(+) T-cells (PubMed:9732873). Isoform E: expressed in adipose tissue, liver, hypothalamus, cerebral microvessels, heart, and testes (PubMed:17620316).

Background

Leptin is a recently identified protein product of the mouse obese gene. Mice with mutations in the obese gene that block the synthesis of leptin have been found to be obese and diabetic and to have reduced activity, metabolism and body temperature. cDNA clones encoding leptin have been isolated from human, simian, mouse and rat cells. Human leptin shares approximately 84% sequence identity with the mouse protein. Human Leptin cDNA encodes a 167 amino acide residue protein with a 21 amino acid residue signal sequence that is cleaved to yield the 146 amino acid residue mature protein. The expression of leptin mRNA has been shown to be restricted to adipose tissue. Leptin plays an important role in reproduction, immunological response and neuroendocrine signaling.
