GPR40 Polyclonal Antibody, FITC Conjugated
Product Specifications
Background
G-protein coupled receptor for medium and long chain saturated and unsaturated fatty acids that plays an important role in glucose homeostasis. Fatty acid binding increases glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, and may also enhance the secretion of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) . May also play a role in bone homeostasis; receptor signaling activates pathways that inhibit osteoclast differentiation (By similarity) . Ligand binding leads to a conformation change that triggers signaling via G-proteins that activate phospholipase C, leading to an increase of the intracellular calcium concentration. Seems to act through a G (q) and G (i) -mediated pathway.
