Summary: Enables leptin receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including glucose homeostasis; leptin-mediated signaling pathway; and positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including glial cell proliferation; glycogen metabolic process; and negative regulation of gluconeogenesis. Predicted to be located in extracellular space. Predicted to be part of receptor complex. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; limb; and respiratory system. Used to study metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease; obesity; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); liver disease (multiple); obesity; obstructive sleep apnea; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human LEPR (leptin receptor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
