Taxonomical ClassificationEukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Sciurognathi;Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Mus.
Subcellular locationCell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Isoform E: Secreted (Probable)
Developmental StageN/A
Similarity Belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. Type 2 subfamily. Contains 4 fibronectin type-III domains. Contains 1 Ig-like (immunoglobulin-like) domain.
Tissue SpecificityIsoform A: highest level of expression in lung and kidney, also present in kidney, heart, brain, spleen, liver, muscle, choroid plexus and hypothalamus. Isoform B: highest level of expression in hypothalamus and lower level in brain, testes and adipose tissue. Isoform E: expressed in adipose tissue, hypothalamus, heart, and testes.
Post translational modification On ligand binding, phosphorylated on two conserved C-terminal tyrosine residues (isoform B only) by JAK2. Tyr-985 is required for complete binding and activation of PTPN11, ERK/FOS activation and, for interaction with SOCS3. Phosphorylation on Tyr-1138 is required for STAT3 binding/activation. Phosphorylation of Tyr-985 is required for SOCS3 binding and SOCS3 mediated inhibition of leptin signaling, whereas phosphorylation of Tyr-1077 has a more accessory role.
Function Receptor for obesity factor (leptin). 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. Can also mediate the ERK/FOS signaling pathway. Isoform A may act to transport leptin to the cerebrospinal fluid (By similarity). Isoform E could function as a transport protein.
