protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens

Gene data

FFAR1
Name
free fatty acid receptor 1
Type
protein-coding
Aliases
FFA1R, GPCR40, GPR40

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].
