Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection
Entry selected based on indirect or inconclusive evidence linking the gene product to ageing in humans or in one or more model systems
Description

LEPR is the receptor for leptin (LEP) and is involved in LEP's signal transduction [1221]. The obese spontaneously hypertensive Koletsky rat has been associated with mutations in LEPR [217]. Deletion of LEPR in neurons of mice results in obesity [1742]. Polymorphisms in the human LEPR gene have been associated with obesity, body mass index, and fat mass [1745]. Like LEP, LEPR plays a role in fat metabolism and so could be involved in some aspects of age-related deterioration.
