Ffar2 free fatty acid receptor 2 [ Mus musculus (house mouse) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 233079)
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 233079)
Symbol: Ffar2
Full name: free fatty acid receptor 2
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED
Organism: Mus musculus
Also known as: GPCR43; Gpr43
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]
