Description

Leptin, the product of the ob (obese) gene, is a 16 kDa-protein consisting of 146 amino acid residues. Leptin is produced in the adipose tissue, and has an important role in appetite control, fat metabolism and regulation of body weight. Leptin targets the central nervous system, particularly hypothalamus, affecting food intake. Leptin levels are high in most obese individuals. Studies have shown that it may also influence reproductive function.
