Ffar2 - free fatty acid receptor 2 Gene

Mus musculus

Also known as Gpr43; GPCR43

Gene ID: 233079 | Gene type: protein coding

About Ffar2

Summary

Enables G protein-coupled receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including leukocyte chemotaxis involved in inflammatory response; positive regulation of acute inflammatory response to non-antigenic stimulus; and positive regulation of cytokine production. Predicted to be located in cell projection and plasma membrane. Is expressed in pancreas; pancreas epithelium; superior cervical ganglion; and testis. Orthologous to human FFAR2 (Free Fatty Acid Receptor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
