Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Receptor for obesity factor (leptin). 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. Can also mediate the ERK/FOS signaling pathway.Isoform A may act to transport leptin to the cerebrospinal fluid. {ECO:0000250}.Isoform E could function as a transport protein.

Subcellular Localization

Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.Isoform E: Secreted {ECO:0000305}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Isoform A: highest level of expression in lung and kidney, also present in kidney, heart, brain, spleen, liver, muscle, choroid plexus and hypothalamus. Isoform B: highest level of expression in hypothalamus and lower level in brain, testes and adipose tissue. Isoform E: expressed in adipose tissue, hypothalamus, heart, and testes.
