Overview of Glp 1 Receptor Expression
Abstract Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor ( GLP -1R) is an important pharmacological target for type 2 diabetes mellitus because it maintains glucose homeostasis and promotes β cell proliferation. Androgen is suggested not only to regulate hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis but also to affect metabolism.
Here we revisit the actions of GLP-1 , discuss new insights refining cellular localization of GLP -1R expression , and integrate recent data to refine our understanding of how and where GLP-1 acts to control inflammation, cardiovascular function, islet hormone secretion, gastric emptying, appetite, and body weight.
The GLP-1 receptor is a transmembrane protein composed of seven alpha-helical transmembrane domains (TM1-TM7), an extracellular N-terminus, and an intracellular C-terminus. It belongs to the class B family of G protein-coupled receptors , also known as secretin-like receptors .
