Summary
GPR120 antibody detects G-protein-coupled receptor 120 (GPR120/FFAR4) (predicted molecular weight of 40 kDa), a GPCR activated by long-chain fatty acids such as omega-3 fatty acid. Stimulation of GPR120 with omega-3 elicits anti-inflammatory effects and enhances insulin sensitivity in a mouse model. In addition to its anti-inflammatory and metabolic functions, GPR120 may also impact immune function.

Background
This gene encodes a G protein-coupled receptor (GPR) which belongs to the rhodopsin family of GPRs. The encoded protein functions as a receptor for free fatty acids, including omega-3, and participates in suppressing anti-inflammatory responses and insulin sensitizing. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]
