Información sobre el gen

human ... LEP(3952)

Descripción general

The gene LEP (leptin) is mapped to human chromosome 7q31. It is a 16kDa peptide. Leptin is released in the circulation and goes to the CNS (central nervous system). In CNS, it works by associating with leptin receptor.

Aplicación

Leptin human has been used:
  • to study the effect of leptin on ACAT1 (acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase 1) expression and cholesterol efflux from primary cultured human macrophages
  • to study the effect of leptin on expression of IGFBP2 (insulin growth factor binding protein 2) in skeletal muscle
  • to study the effect of leptin on HLA-G (human leukocyte antigen G) expression in placental trophoblasts
  • to study the effect of leptin on in vitro maturation, fertilization and development of horse oocytes after ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection)

Acciones bioquímicas o fisiológicas

Hormone produced primarily in adipocytes; primary site of action appears to be on neurons in the hypothalamus that are involved in regulating energy balance, appetite, and body weight.
Leptin is a hormone produced primarily in adipocytes, although leptin mRNA has also been identified in placenta and fetal tissues, gastric tissue and liver. Its primary site of action appears to be on neurons in the hypothalamus that are involved in regulating energy balance, appetite, and body weight. Leptin increases the production of nitric oxide in endothelial cells and stimulates angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo.
Human and mouse leptin share ~84% sequence identity.
Leptin is believed to play a role in normal pregnancy development.
Mutations in LEP (leptin) are linked with type-2 diabetes. Presence of high levels of leptin in plasma is related to adiposity.

Forma física

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution with 0.0045 mM NaHCO3

Nota de análisis

The biological activity is measured by its ability to induce proliferation of leptin-dependent human OB-R transfected murine BAF3 cells.

The leptin (LEP G2548A) and leptin receptor (LEPR Q223R) gene polymorphisms have been variably associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in different populations. In this study we hypothesized that these variants might be associated with T2D and related metabolic traits

Excess body weight is associated with a moderately increased risk of thyroid cancer. Adipocyte-derived hormone, leptin, has been shown to enhance cell growth and migration in many cancer types. Limited evidence suggests that leptin has direct actions on the thyroid

It has been shown that visceral fat accumulation is associated with autonomic dysfunction, though the precise mechanism remains unclear. A recent basic study found that leptin can directly modulate autonomic function through the dorsomedial hypothalamus in relation to obesity. Here
