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].
