FFAR1

No cross reactivity with other proteins.

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human GPCR GPR40, which shares 88% and 84% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat GPCR GPR40, respectively.

Immunogen affinity purified.

Adding 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 μg/ml.

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.
