Gene: LEP (leptin) Homo sapiens
Analyze
Symbol: LEP
Name: leptin
RGD ID: 69123
HGNC Page HGNC:6553
Description: Enables leptin receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of signal transduction; regulation of cytokine production; and regulation of lymphocyte proliferation. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Implicated in several diseases, including alcohol dependence; congenital leptin deficiency; liver disease (multiple); lung disease (multiple); and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Biomarker of several diseases, including alcohol dependence; bone disease (multiple); cystic fibrosis; liver disease (multiple); and lung disease (multiple).
Type: protein-coding
RefSeq Status: REVIEWED
Previously known as: FLJ94114; LEPD; leptin (murine obesity homolog); leptin (obesity homolog, mouse); OB; obese protein; obese, mouse, homolog of; obesity factor; OBS
