Vectors for Human LEP

Gene Information

  • Offical Gene Symbol LEP
  • Species Human (Homo sapiens)
  • Offical Full Name leptin
  • Other Aliases LEPD; OB; OBS
  • Other Desigations leptin; leptin (murine obesity homolog); leptin (obesity homolog, mouse); obese protein; obese, mouse, homolog of; obesity factor
  • Gene Type protein-coding
  • Summary
    This gene encodes a protein that is secreted by white adipocytes into the circulation and plays a major role in the regulation of energy homeostasis. Circulating leptin binds to the leptin receptor in the brain, which activates downstream signaling pathways that inhibit feeding and promote energy expenditure. This protein also has several endocrine functions, and is involved in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses, hematopoiesis, angiogenesis, reproduction, bone formation and wound healing. Mutations in this gene and its regulatory regions cause severe obesity and morbid obesity with hypogonadism in human patients. A mutation in this gene has also been linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus development. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]
