Anti-GPR120 FFAR4 Antibody

Free fatty acid receptor 4; G-protein coupled receptor 120; G-protein coupled receptor 129; G-protein coupled receptor GT01; G-protein coupled receptor PGR4; Omega-3 fatty acid receptor 1; FFAR4; GPR120, GPR129, O3FAR1, PGR4

Receptor for medium and long-chain free fatty acids (FFAs) . Signals via a G (q) /G (11) -coupled pathway. Acts as a receptor for omega-3 fatty acids and mediates robust anti- inflammatory effects, particularly in macrophages and fat cells. The anti-inflammatory effects involve inhibition of TAK1 through a beta-arrestin 2 (ARRB2) /TAB1-dependent effect, but independent of the G (q) /G (11) -coupled pathway. Mediates potent insulin sensitizing and antidiabetic effects by repressing macrophage- induced tissue inflammation. May mediate the taste of fatty acids. Mediates FFA-induced inhibition of apoptosis in enteroendocrine cells. May play a role in the regulation of adipocyte development and differentiation. .
