Glp1r Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor activity and peptide hormone binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cAMP/PKA signal transduction; learning or memory; and positive regulation of insulin secretion. Located in plasma membrane. Used to study hyperglycemia and hypertension. Biomarker of obesity. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in obesity. Orthologous to human GLP1R (glucagon like peptide 1 receptor).

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 rat Glp1r often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
