Pharmacological characterisation of the fatty acid receptors GPR120 and FFA1

In recent years, two G protein coupled receptors have been de-orphanised which respond to long chain free fatty acids (FFAs), and so are able to mediate the signalling of these important nutrient molecules. FFA1 (GPR40) is predominantly expressed in pancreatic -cells, while the expression profile of...
