About This Section

Entrez Gene summary for LEP:
This gene encodes a protein that is secreted by white adipocytes, and which plays a major role in the regulation of
body weight. This protein, which acts through the leptin receptor, functions as part of a signaling pathway that can
inhibit food intake and/or regulate energy expenditure to maintain constancy of the adipose mass. This protein also
has several endocrine functions, and is involved in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses,
hematopoiesis, angiogenesis and wound healing. Mutations in this gene and/or its regulatory regions cause severe
obesity, and morbid obesity with hypogonadism. This gene has also been linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus development.
(provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: LEP_HUMAN, P41159
Function: May function as part of a signaling pathway that acts to regulate the size of the body fat depot. An increase
in the level of LEP may act directly or indirectly on the CNS to inhibit food intake and/or regulate energy
expenditure as part of a homeostatic mechanism to maintain constancy of the adipose mass

summary for LEP:
Leptin was initially thought to have a role in energy homeostasis and obesity. More recently, it has also
been implicated in the regulation of reproduction, glucose homeostasis, bone formation, wound healing and
the immune system. Leptin acts via leptin receptors, which are transmembrane catalytic receptors found on
NPY/AgRP and alpha-MSH/CART neurons in hypothalamic nuclei. Leptin receptors (Ob-Rs) are coded for by one
human gene that produces six different isoforms; Ob-Ra - Ob-Rf. Ob-Rs exist as constitutive dimers at
physiological expression levels. Only the Ob-Rb isoform can transduce intracellular signals and does so
through activation of the JAK2/STAT3, PI 3-K and MAPK signaling cascades. Activation of Ob-Rs mediates
transcriptional regulation of the hypothalamic melanocortin pathway and downregulates endocannabinoid
expression. Leptin resistance has been proposed as a pathophysiological mechanism of obesity. In obese
individuals, Ob-Ra (which is involved in active transport of leptin across the blood-brain barrier)
expression is downregulated and the individual may be unresponsive to leptin signals. Ob-R antagonists are
of great interest in the development of pharmacological treatments for obesity.
