leptin

General Information (Source: NCBI Gene,UniProt)

Text mining Term leptin
UniProt ID LEP_RAT
Name Leptin
Obesity factor
Gene Names Lep
Synonyms:Ob
Taxonomy Rattus norvegicus

General annotation

Function May function as part of a signaling pathway that acts to regulate the size of the body fat depot. An increase in the level of Lep may act directly or indirectly on the CNS to inhibit food intake and/or regulate energy expenditure as part of a homeostatic mechanism to maintain constancy of the adipose mass.
Subcellular location Secreted (Probable).
