GPR119 - G protein-coupled receptor 119 Gene
Also Known as GPCR2
Species: Homo sapiens
About GPR119
This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 176 orthologues and 18 paralogues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the rhodopsin subfamily of G-protein-coupled receptors that is expressed in the pancreas and gastrointestinal tract. The encoded protein is activated by lipid amides including lysophosphatidylcholine and oleoylethanolamide and may be involved in glucose homeostasis. This protein is a potential drug target in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]
