QuickView for FFAR1 (gene)

Gene Symbol:

FFAR1 Homo sapiens

Full name:

free fatty acid receptor 1

Synonyms:

FFA1R, GPCR40, GPR40, free fatty acid receptor 1, G-protein coupled receptor 40

Genomic Location:

Chr 19: 40534295-40535197

Description:

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.
