Function: Receptor for hormone LEP/leptin (Probable) (PubMed:22405007). On ligand binding, mediates LEP central and peripheral effects through the activation of different signaling pathways such as JAK2/STAT3 and MAPK cascade/FOS. 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 (By similarity) (PubMed:9537324). 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:25060689, PubMed:12504075, PubMed:8805376). 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. Involved in the regulation of counter- regulatory response to hypoglycemia by inhibiting neurons of the parabrachial nucleus. Has a specific effect on T lymphocyte responses, differentially regulating the proliferation of naive and memory T -ells. Leptin increases Th1 and suppresses Th2 cytokine production (By similarity). Cellular location: Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Basolateral cell membrane. Tissue Location: Isoform A is expressed in fetal liver and in hematopoietic tissues and choroid plexus. In adults highest expression in heart, liver, small intestine, prostate and ovary Low level in lung and kidney. Isoform B is highly expressed in hypothalamus, but also in skeletal muscle. Detected in fundic and antral epithelial cells of the gastric mucosa (PubMed:19159218) Isoform B and isoform A are expressed by NK cells (at protein level) (PubMed:12504075).

products description :
Leptin, an adipocyte-specific hormone, regulates adipose-tissue mass through hypothalamic effects on satiety and energy expenditure by acting through the leptin receptor (LEPR). LEPR is a single-transmembrane-domain receptor of the cytokine receptor family that is identical to the mouse diabetes (db) gene product. During weight loss, leptin levels decrease, whereas soluble LEPR levels and the receptor bound fraction of leptin increases. The presence of LEPR in the absorptive cells of the small intestine suggests that leptin may have a physiological role in the regulation of nutrient absorption.

ncbi summary :
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the gp130 family of cytokine receptors that are known to stimulate gene transcription via activation of cytosolic STAT proteins. This protein is a receptor for leptin (an adipocyte-specific hormone that regulates body weight), and is involved in the regulation of fat metabolism, as well as in a novel hematopoietic pathway that is required for normal lymphopoiesis. Mutations in this gene have been associated with obesity and pituitary dysfunction. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. It is noteworthy that this gene and LEPROT gene (GeneID:54741) share the same promoter and the first 2 exons, however, encode distinct proteins (PMID:9207021).[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]
uniprot summary :
LEPR: the receptor for leptin (obesity factor). A single-transmembrane-domain receptor of the cytokine receptor family. On ligand binding, mediates signaling through JAK2/STAT3. Involved in the regulation of fat metabolism and, in a hematopoietic pathway, required for normal lymphopoiesis. May play a role in reproduction. Five alternatively spliced transcript variants have been reported. Protein type: Membrane protein, integral; Receptor, cytokine. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 1p31. Cellular Component: plasma membrane; extracellular region; integral to membrane; receptor complex. Molecular Function: hematopoietin/interferon-class (D200-domain) cytokine receptor activity; identical protein binding; protein binding; transmembrane receptor activity. Biological Process: cholesterol metabolic process; cell surface receptor linked signal transduction; cytokine and chemokine mediated signaling pathway; multicellular organismal development; negative regulation of gluconeogenesis; negative regulation of hydrolase activity; energy reserve metabolic process.
