PRO name free fatty acid receptor
Synonyms
PRO-short-label: fam:FFA_R
Definition A rhodopsin-like G-protein coupled receptor that is a translation product of the human FFAR1 to FFAR4, or GPR42 genes, 1:1 orthologs thereof, or a semi-ortholog thereof. The active form binds free fatty acid. [PMID:15684720, PMID:17052194, PRO:DAN, PRO:WCB, PRO:XQ]
Comment Note: In humans there are four tandem genes located downstream of CD22 on chromosome 19. One of these, GPR42P, is a pseudogene formed by recent duplication of FFAR3. A fifth gene, FFAR4, is on a different chromosome.
