G-Protein Coupled Receptor 43 (GPR43) & Metabolic Functions

G-Protein Coupled Receptor 43 (GPR43) are sensory receptors for nutrients to elicit glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from pancreatic beta-cells
Priyadarshini et al. 2016 Trends Endocrinol Metab 27(9): 653–664

G-Protein Coupled Receptor 43 (GPR43) co-localized with L- cells and activated by microbiota SCFA ligands promote the release of GLP-1 and PYY
