General description
Leptin is a hormone that is secreted by the adipose tissue. It is also produced by the gastrointestinal tract and placenta. Leptin consists of a four-helix bundle. Leptin participates in regulating appetite, body weight, and energy expenditure. Excessive leptin is associated with cardiovascular complications like hypertension, coronary heart disease, and stroke. The LEP gene is mapped on the human chromosome at 7q32.1. Human Leptin "Dual Range" enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit is used for the non-radioactive quantification of human leptin in serum, plasma, and other biological media.
