GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
FFAR4 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
GPR120, GPR129, O3FAR1, PGR4
Description
Free fatty acid receptor 4 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a G protein-coupled receptor (GPR) which belongs to the rhodopsin family of GPRs. The encoded protein functions as a receptor for free fatty acids, including omega-3, and participates in suppressing anti-inflammatory responses and insulin sensitizing. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]
