The leptin receptor has cytokine receptor characteristics. The transduction of the signal by this type of receptor involves the formation of multimeric complexes. This leads to the recruitment of tyrosine kinases, in particular those of the JAK family, which will phosphorylate STAT-like transcription factors at the cytoplasmic tail of the receptor.  Recruitment and activation of secondary signalling molecules enable the lept signalling via the MAPK, PI3K, AMPK and mTOR pathways.
