Summary: Predicted to enable hormone activity. Acts upstream of or within response to starvation. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Is expressed in digestive system; gill; heart; hypophysis; and pleuroperitoneal region. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including alcohol dependence; congenital leptin deficiency; fatty liver disease (multiple); liver disease (multiple); and lung disease (multiple). Orthologous to human LEP (leptin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
