摘要: Five mouse and human leptin receptors (Ob-R) have recently been identified, a long isoform (Ob-Rb), preferentially expressed in hypothalamus, 4 short isoforms, Ob-Ra, Ob-Rc, Ob-Rd, Ob-Re. We identified new the rat, r-OB-Rf, with 6 C-terminal amino acids 3′ untranslated region without homology to other Ob-R isoforms. Its higher expression rat liver spleen compared brain, stomach, kidney, thymus, heart, lung contrasts Ob-Ra Ob-Rb homologues raises possibilities of as yet unidentified roles for members growing gene family.
