About Ffar1

Summary

Enables bioactive lipid receptor activity. Involved in glucose homeostasis; positive regulation of transport; and response to fatty acid. Acts upstream of or within Insulin secretion. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in gut and male reproductive gland or organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human FFAR1 (Free Fatty Acid Receptor 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
