Entrez ID 2864
Gene name Free fatty acid receptor 1
Gene symbol FFAR1
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
FFA1RGPCR40GPR40
Chromosome 19
Chromosome location 19q13.12
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 medium and long chain free fatty acids and may be involved in the metabolic regulation of insu
