Gene data

FFAR2
Name
free fatty acid receptor 2
Type
protein-coding
Aliases
FFA2R, GPR43

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 short chain free fatty acids and may be involved in the inflammatory response and in regulating lipid plasma levels. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2009].
