| Background | This gene encodes a member of the GP40 family of G protein-coupled receptors that are clustered together on chromosome 19. The encoded protein is a receptor for medium and long chain free fatty acids and may be involved in the metabolic regulation of insulin secretion. Polymorphisms in this gene may be associated with type 2 diabetes. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2009], |
| Function | function:Receptor for medium and long chain saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Binding of the ligand increase intracellular calcium concentration and amplify glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G-proteins that activate phospholipase C. Seems to act through a G(q) and G(i)-mediated pathway.,similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.,tissue specificity:Expressed abundantly in pancreatic beta cells., |
| Subcellular location | Cell membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein . |
| Expression | Detected in brain and pancreas. Detected in pancreatic beta cells. |
