GENE AND PROTEIN SUMMARY

? »

Gene name

FFAR2

Description

free fatty acid receptor 2

Protein class

G-protein coupled receptors, Mapped to UniProt SWISS-PROT, Potential transmembrane proteins

Protein evidence

Only RNA

Entrez gene summary

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 short chain free fatty acids and may be involved in the inflammatory response and in regulating lipid plasma levels. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2009]
