Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of FFAR1 in rat tissue homogenates, cell lysates.
Target Information: 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 medium and long chain free fatty acids and may be involved in the metabolic regulation of insulin secretion. Polymorphisms in this gene may be associated with type 2 diabetes. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2009]
