The Leptin receptor (Leptin R, gene name LEPR), also called OB R (obesity receptor), is a 150 kDa protein that is a member of the Class I cytokine receptor family. It mediates the activities of Leptin, a multi-functional hormone produced primarily by adipose tissues that plays roles in food intake, energy metabolism, angiogenesis, reproduction, hematopoiesis, bone metabolism, and immune function. The human Leptin R gene encodes 1165 amino acids (aa) including a signal peptide, an extracellular region with cytokine receptor homology (CRH), multiple fibronectin type III domains and a WSXWS motif, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic domain that supports JAK/STAT signaling. Human Leptin R shares 76% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat Leptin R, and 83-86% with bovine, canine, equine and porcine Leptin R. Leptin R isoforms include a long form, OB RL or OB Rb (primary signaling form), and at least four shorter isoforms with truncated cytoplasmic domains, named OB Ra (ubiquitous), Rc, Rd, and Rf. A soluble isoform, OB Re, is found in rodents but not humans. However, both humans and rodents produce soluble Leptin R due to release of soluble ectodomains by metalloproteinases such as ADAM10. OB Rb is highly expressed in the hypothalamus and mediates the anti-orexigenic effects of Leptin. Mutations of ObRb have caused extreme obesity in humans, mice (db/db “diabetes”), and rats (Zucker fa/fa “fatty”). Shorter isoforms of Leptin R exhibit limited signaling capability, but mediate endocytosis and degradation of Leptin and passage through the blood-brain barrier. Soluble Leptin R is the primary Leptin-binding protein in blood, where it maintains a pool of available bioactive Leptin, delays Leptin clearance from circulation, and down-regulates blood-brain transmission of Leptin. In humans, soluble Leptin R levels are inversely proportional to adiposity and are elevated in females versus males. Soluble Leptin R is also found up-regulated in patients with chronic heart failure, end-stage renal disease, and anorexia. It is expressed by tumor-initiating stem cells and is proposed as a link between cancer and obesity.
Post-translational: On ligand binding, phosphorylated on two conserved C-terminal tyrosine residues (isoform B only) by JAK2. Tyr-986 is required for complete binding and activation of PTPN11, ERK/FOS activation,for interaction with SOCS3 and SOCS3 mediated inhibition of leptin signaling. Phosphorylation on Tyr-1141 is required for STAT3 binding/activation. Phosphorylation of Tyr-1079 has a more accessory role.
