FFAR2- Name
- free fatty acid receptor 2
- Type
- protein-coding
- Aliases
- FFA2R, GPR43
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 short chain free fatty acids and may be involved in the inflammatory response and in regulating lipid plasma levels. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2009].
