MyBioSource.com's Rabbit Anti-GIPR Antibody is a Rabbit monoclonal antibody. The Rabbit Anti-GIPR Antibody was generated using GIPR as the antigen. It reacts with Homo Sapiens, and Human. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: Flow Cytometry.
Description
This gene encodes a G-protein coupled receptor for gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), which was originally identified as an activity in gut extracts that inhibited gastric acid secretion and gastrin release, but subsequently was demonstrated to stimulate insulin release in the presence of elevated glucose. Mice lacking this gene exhibit higher blood glucose levels with impaired initial insulin response after oral glucose load. Defect in this gene thus may contribute to the pathogenesis of diabetes.
