Target Details for Leptin

Target: Leptin (LEP)

Alternative Name: Leptin

Background: Leptin is a 16 kDa, non-glycosylated polypeptide that regulates adipose tissue mass and energy balance. It is a hormone made by fat cells which regulates the amount of fat stored in the body by adjusting both the sensation of hunger, and adjusting energy expenditures.
