Gipr Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables gastric inhibitory peptide receptor activity and peptide hormone binding activity. Involved in several processes, including desensitization of G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; gastric inhibitory peptide signaling pathway; and positive regulation of insulin secretion. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Used to study type 2 diabetes mellitus. Biomarker of hyperglycemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cardiovascular system disease; diabetes mellitus; and obesity. Orthologous to human GIPR (gastric inhibitory polypeptide 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 Gipr often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
