Gip Gene Summary [Mouse]
This gene encodes an incretin hormone that belongs to the glucagon superfamily. The encoded preproprotein undergoes proteolytic processing to generate mature peptides that function as potent stimulators of insulin secretion and inhibit gastric acid secretion. Transgenic mice overexpressing the encoded protein exhibit a significant increase in the expression of markers of bone formation, a decrease in the expression of markers of bone resorption and, an increase in the bone mass.

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Gip often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
