function:Receptor for medium and long chain saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Binding of the ligand increase intracellular calcium concentration and amplify glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G-proteins that activate phospholipase C. Seems to act through a G(q) and G(i)-mediated pathway.,similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.,tissue specificity:Expressed abundantly in pancreatic beta cells.,
Cell membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein .
