Tissue SpecificityAdipose tissue is the main source of leptin. It is also produced by other peripheral tissues such as the skeletal muscle (PubMed:7789654, PubMed:16052473, PubMed:12448771). Expressed by intercalated and striated tracts of submandibular and parotid salivary gland intralobular ducts (PubMed:12448771). Detected by fundic epithelium of the gastric mucosa (PubMed:10896907). Secreted into blood and gastric juice (PubMed:10896907). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10896907, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12448771, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16052473, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7789654}.
