Free Fatty Acid Receptor

FFAR

Free fatty acid receptors (FFARs) are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) activated by free fatty acids (FFAs). The four well-characterized FFARs are FFAR1/GPR40, FFAR2/GPR43, FFAR3/GPR41, and FFAR4/GPR120. FFARs are categorized according to the chain length of FFA ligands that activate each FFAR; FFA2 and FFA3 are activated by short chain FFAs, mainly acetate, butyrate, and propionate. GPR84 is activated by medium-chain FFAs, whereas FFA1 and GPR120 are activated by medium- or long-chain FFAs. Thus, each FFAR can act as an FFA sensor with selectivity for a particular FFA carbon chain length derived from food or food derived metabolites. FFARs have been reported to have physiological functions such as facilitation of insulin and incretin hormone secretion, adipocyte differentiation, anti-inflammatory effects, neuronal responses, and taste preferences. These physiological functions of FFARs could be considered to regulate energy and immune homeostasis. Therefore, FFARs have been targeted in therapeutic strategies for the treatment of metabolic disorders including type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

    Agonist 99.96%
    Tricosanoic acid is an endogenous agonist of long-chain saturated fatty acids and free fatty acid receptor FFAR1, which can activate hair growth. Tricosanoic acid (C23:0) has the activity of improving cognitive function by regulating neuronal membrane fluidity, inhibiting neuroinflammatory response, participating in myelination and neuronal energy metabolism. Tricosanoic acid expression levels are low in the prefrontal cortex of Alzheimer's disease (AD) models; while better cognitive performance corresponds to higher serum concentration levels. Tricosanoic acid can be used as a biomarker for diseases related to cognitive decline.
