Gene Description

GIPR is the class B1 G protein-coupled receptor for glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), an incretin hormone released from intestinal K cells after a meal. The receptor sits in the plasma membrane with an N-glycosylated extracellular domain that captures the C-terminal helix of GIP, while the transmembrane core engages the hormone's N-terminus and couples to Gs to activate adenylyl cyclase and raise cAMP. In pancreatic beta cells this potentiates glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (the incretin effect); GIPR is also expressed in adipose tissue, bone and brain. Common GIPR variants are associated with post-challenge glucose levels and reduced insulin secretion.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Why do both GIPR agonism and antagonism reduce body weight in combination with GLP-1R agonists - is receptor desensitization/internalization in adipocytes or brain the operative mechanism?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Measure ligand-induced GIPR internalization and recycling in human adipocytes and beta cells with surface-labeled receptor to relate trafficking to sustained cAMP signaling.
