Background
Free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFA1), also known as GPR40, is a class A G-protein coupled receptor that in humans is encoded by the FFAR1 gene. 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.
Immunogen
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.
Contents
Each vial contains 4mg Trehalose, 0.9mg NaCl, 0.2mg Na2HPO4, 0.05 mg NaN3.
Purification
Immunogen affinity purified.
Reconstitution
Add 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug/ml.
Concentration
Adding 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 μg/ml.

Protein Function
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.
Subcellular Localization
Cell membrane.
