GIPR Protein, Human (HEK293, hFc)
GIPR protein, a receptor for glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), operates through G proteins that activate adenylyl cyclase. Its capacity for homodimer and heterodimer formation with GLP1R implies potential interactions between receptors linked to incretin hormones. GIPR Protein, Human (HEK293, hFc) is the recombinant human-derived GIPR protein, expressed by HEK293, with C-hFc labeled tag.

Storage:Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
Biological Activity
Description
GIPR protein, a receptor for glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), operates through G proteins that activate adenylyl cyclase. Its capacity for homodimer and heterodimer formation with GLP1R implies potential interactions between receptors linked to incretin hormones. GIPR Protein, Human (HEK293, hFc) is the recombinant human-derived GIPR protein, expressed by HEK293, with C-hFc labeled tag.
Background
The GIPR protein functions as a receptor for glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). Its activity is mediated by G proteins, specifically those that activate adenylyl cyclase. Notably, GIPR has the potential to form homodimers and heterodimers with GLP1R, suggesting a possible interaction between receptors associated with incretin hormones.
