GLP2R - glucagon like peptide 2 receptor Gene
Species: Homo sapiens
About GLP2R
This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 205 orthologues and 42 paralogues. Biased expression in gall bladder (RPKM 4.7), small intestine (RPKM 2.6) and 8 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a G protein-coupled receptor that is closely related to the Glucagon Receptor and binds to glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP2). Signalling through GLP2 stimulates intestinal growth and increases villus height in the small intestine, concomitant with increased crypt cell proliferation and decreased enterocyte Apoptosis.
