| Protein name |
Hydroxycarboxylic acid receptor 2 (G-protein coupled receptor 109A) (G-protein coupled receptor HM74A) (Niacin receptor 1) (Nicotinic acid receptor) |
| Protein function |
Acts as a high affinity receptor for both nicotinic acid (also known as niacin) and (D)-beta-hydroxybutyrate and mediates increased adiponectin secretion and decreased lipolysis through G(i)-protein-mediated inhibition of adenylyl cyclase. This |
