Western Blot (WB)

(Leptin Receptor (LEPR) Antibody (N-term) western blot analysis in K562 cell line lysates (35ug/lane).This demonstrates the LEPR antibody detected the LEPR protein (arrow).)

Flow Cytometry (FC/FACS)

(Leptin Receptor (LEPR) Antibody (N-term) flow cytometric analysis of K562 cells (right histogram) compared to a negative control cell (left histogram).FITC-conjugated goat-anti-rabbit secondary antibodies were used for the analysis.)

Immunohistochemistry (IHC)

(Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded human cancer tissue reacted with the primary antibody, which was peroxidase-conjugated to the secondary antibody, followed by DAB staining. This data demonstrates the use of this antibody for immunohistochemistry; clinical relevance has not been evaluated. BC = breast carcinoma; HC = hepatocarcinoma.)

Related Product Information for anti-LEPR antibody

Leptin, an adipocyte-specific hormone, regulates adipose-tissue mass through hypothalamic effects on satiety and energy expenditure by acting through the leptin receptor (LEPR). LEPR is a single-transmembrane-domain receptor of the cytokine receptor family that is identical to the mouse diabetes (db) gene product. During weight loss, leptin levels decrease, whereas soluble LEPR levels and the receptor bound fraction of leptin increases. The presence of LEPR in the absorptive cells of the small intestine suggests that leptin may have a physiological role in the regulation of nutrient absorption.

NCBI Description

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 regulates body weight), and is involved in the regulation of fat metabolism, as well as in a novel hematopoietic pathway that is required for normal lymphopoiesis. Mutations in this gene have been associated with obesity and pituitary dysfunction. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. It is noteworthy that this gene and LEPROT gene (GeneID:54741) share the same promoter and the first 2 exons, however, encode distinct proteins (PMID:9207021).[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]

Uniprot Description

LEPR: the receptor for leptin (obesity factor). A single-transmembrane-domain receptor of the cytokine receptor family. On ligand binding, mediates signaling through JAK2/STAT3. Involved in the regulation of fat metabolism and, in a hematopoietic pathway, required for normal lymphopoiesis. May play a role in reproduction. Five alternatively spliced transcript variants have been reported.
