The best known regulation of the leptin receptor is negative regulation by OB-RGRP. The gene encoding the leptin receptor (OB-R) also encodes a second transcript called OB-R gene related protein (OB-RGRP). Stopping the expression of the OB-RGRP gene by interfering RNAs increases the sensitivity of the cells' receptors to leptin <ref>https://www.institutcochin.fr/linstitut/evenements/ob-rgrp-regulateur-negatif-du-recepteur-de-la</ref>. This prevents the development of obesity despite a diet that may be high in fat.
