Extended details

Description

  • The receptors are ligand binding factors of type 1, 2 or 3 and protein-molecules that receive chemical-signals from outside a cell
  • When such chemical-signals couple or bind to a receptor, they cause some form of cellular/tissue-response, e.g
  • a change in the electrical-activity of a cell
  • In this sense, am olfactory receptor is a protein-molecule that recognizes and responds to endogenous-chemical signals, chemokinesor cytokines e.g
  • an acetylcholine-receptor recognizes and responds to its endogenous-ligand, acetylcholine
  • However, sometimes in pharmacology, the term is also used to include other proteins that are drug-targets, such as enzymes, transporters and ion-channels.

Gene

  • Human or mouse Leptin (from Greek λεπτός leptos, "thin") the "satiety hormone", is a hormone made by adipose cells that helps to regulate energy balance by inhibiting hunger
  • Leptin is opposed by the actions of the hormone ghrelin, the "hunger hormone"
  • Both hormones act on receptors in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus to regulate appetite to achieve energy homeostasis
  • ELISA kits and peptides and antibodies are available.

About

  • Rats are used to make rat monoclonal anti mouse antibodies
  • There are less rat- than mouse clones however
  • Rats genes from rodents of the genus Rattus norvegicus are often studied in vivo as a model of human genes in Sprague-Dawley or Wistar rats.
