Summary: (from NCBI-Entrez) ..[read more]The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the gp130 family of cytokine receptors that are known to stimulate gene transcription via activation of cytosolic STAT proteins. This protein is a receptor for leptin (an adipocyte-specific hormone that regulate
Coexpression of the active isoform of leptin receptor (OB-Rb) with an inactive mutant lacking high affinity leptin binding site led to suppression of the activity mediated by OB-Rb, suggesting that the leptin receptor may exist as a multimeric complex in the absence of leptin (Fong et al. 1998).
