Scientific Background

LEPR(Leptin receptor) also known as LEP-R, OBR, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LEPR gene. The leptin hormone regulates adipose-tissue mass through hypothalamus effects on fullness and energy use. It acts through the leptin receptor (LEP-R), a single-transmembrane-domain receptor of the cytokine receptor family. By genetic mapping, Tartaglia et al. (1995) demonstrated that the Obr gene is located on mouse chromosome 4, in a 5.1-cM interval that contains the well-characterized recessive obesity mutation, diabetes (db). Chung et al. (1996) developed a genetic map of 1p in the region of the OBR gene. They mapped the OBR gene physically by radiation hybrid mapping and placed it on a contig composed of 10 adjacent YACs and 5 P1 artificial chromosomes (PACs). The location of the human homolog of Obr was predicted to be on 1p based on conserved linkage of most of the telomeric half of mouse chromosome 4 with human 1p. LEP-R functions as a receptor for the fat cell-specific hormone leptin. LEP-R has also been designated as CD295.
