Leptin and its receptors

Journal of Chemical Neuroanatomy, 2014
Leptin is mainly produced in the white adipose tissue before being secreted into the blood and transported across the blood-brain barrier. Leptin binds to a specific receptor (LepR) that has numerous subtypes (LepRa, LepRb, LepRc, LepRd, LepRe, and LepRf).

Leptin Receptor and Leukemia

Leukemia & Lymphoma, 2000
The receptor for leptin, the gene product of the obese gene, is expressed in hematopoietic stem cells. Leptin stimulates normal myeloid and erythroid development, and is secreted from bone marrow adipocytes, which occupy most of the marrow cavity in humans.

Leptin and leptin receptor-related monogenic obesity.

Biochimie, 2012
The studies based on candidate genes and encoded proteins known to cause severe obesity in rodents, have shown that these genes also contribute to human early-onset obesity especially for those involved in the leptin pathway: the leptin (LEP) and leptin receptor (LEPR) genes.

Atomistic mechanism of leptin and leptin-receptor association

Journal of Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics, 2022
The leptin-leptin receptor complex is at the very core of energy homeostasis and immune system regulation, among many other functions. In this work, we built homology models of leptin and the leptin binding domain (LBD) of the receptor from humans and mice.

Leptin Receptors

2011
The hormone leptin, secreted predominantly from adipose tissue, plays a crucial role in the regulation of numerous neuroendocrine functions, from energy homeostasis to reproduction. Genetic deficiency as a consequence of leptin or leptin receptor mutations, although rare in humans, leads to early onset of chronic hyperphagia and massive obesity.

Leptin, Leptin Receptors, and the Control of Body Weight [PDF]

open access: possibleNutrition Reviews, 2009
The assimilation, storage, and disposition of nutrient energy constitute a complex homeostatic system central to the survival of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. In vertebrates, and especially among land dwelling mammalian species, the ability to store large quantities of energy-dense fuel in the form of adipose tissue triglyceride permits ...
