Functional evolution of leptin of Ochotona curzoniae in adaptive thermogenesis driven by cold environmental stress.

Functional evolution of leptin of Ochotona curzoniae in adaptive thermogenesis driven by cold environmental stress.

<h4>Background</h4>Environmental stress can accelerate the directional selection and evolutionary rate of specific stress-response proteins to bring about new or altered functions, enhancing an organism's fitness to challenging environments. Plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae), an end...
