Glucagon-like peptide-2 receptor
Glucagon-like peptide-2 receptor (GLP-2R) is a protein that in human is encoded by the "GLP2R" gene located on chromosome 17.
Function.
The GLP2 receptor (GLP2R) is a G protein-coupled receptor superfamily member closely related to the glucagon receptor (GLP1 receptor). Glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP2) is a 33-amino acid proglucagon-derived peptide produced by intestinal enteroendocrine cells. Like glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP1) and glucagon itself, it is derived from
Glucagon-like peptide receptor
The glucagon-like peptide receptors (GLPRs) include the following two receptors:
- Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) – binds glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1)
- Glucagon-like peptide 2 receptor (GLP-2R) – binds glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP-2)
