Leptin receptor
Leptin receptor also known as LEP-R is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LEPR gene.[1][2] LEP-R functions as a receptor for the fat cell-specific hormone leptin. LEP-R has also been designated as CD295 (cluster of differentiation 295).
Function
The leptin hormone regulates adipose-tissue mass through hypothalamus effects on fullness and energy use, acts through the leptin receptor (LEP-R), a single-transmembrane-domain receptor of the cytokine receptor family.[3]
Clinical significance
Variations in the leptin receptor have been associated with obesity.[4]
Animals models
The db/db mouse is a model of obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidemia wherein leptin receptor activity is deficient because the mice are homozygous for a point mutation in the gene for the leptin receptor.[5] In db/db mice, induced swimming helped to overcome obesity by upregulating uncoupling proteins.[6]
