Summary: Enables peptide hormone binding activity and protein-hormone receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including gonad development; negative regulation of behavior; and positive regulation of cell communication. Located in extracellular space. Used to study several diseases, including chronic kidney disease; congestive heart failure (multiple); glucose metabolism disease (multiple); obesity; and renal fibrosis. Biomarker of pre-eclampsia and short bowel syndrome. 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]
Expression: Biased expression in Spleen (RPKM 91.8), Liver (RPKM 83.9) and 9 other tissues See more

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.
