G protein-coupled receptors as regulators of glucose homeostasis and therapeutic targets for diabetes mellitus

Ya-Xiong Tao et al. Prog Mol Biol Transl Sci. 2014.

Abstract

As critical regulators of almost all physiological processes in the body, G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are important regulators of glucose homeostasis. Some of the newer drugs for treating diabetes mellitus or in development are also targeting GPCRs. This chapter provides a summary of some of the GPCRs that have been shown to be involved in regulating glucose homeostasis.

Keywords: G protein-coupled receptor; Glucose homeostasis; Incretin; Neuropeptides; Pancreatic peptide.
