The '''short-form''' (Ob-Ra) is located primarily in the '''lungs''', '''kidneys''' and '''islets of Langerhans''' <ref name="ref4"/>. It is also present in smaller quantities in the brain at the '''hypothalamus'''.<ref name="ref5"/> Ob-Ra is the only form of the protein found in '''ovaries'''.

Leptin receptors play a role in the regulation of body weight and blunt the drive for food intake, so they are found in '''adipocytes''', '''muscles''', '''hypothalamus'''.
