Abstract excerpt
Leptin and the leptin receptor are key players in the regulation of body weight. In an attempt to dissect the molecular mechanism of the Zucker fatty rat leptin receptor mutation (Gln269 --> Pro) we analyzed the effects of this mutation on leptin receptor signaling and expression in three different expression systems: 1) 32D cells expressing leptin/erythropoietin receptor chimeras, 2) COS-7 cells expressing a...
