Adipose tissue expression, alternative splicing, desensitization and internalization of the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor
Glucose dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) is a gut hormone which plays an important role as an incretin. Thus, the GIP receptor, a member of the G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) family, is expressed in the β-cells of the endocrine pancreas. However, it is also expressed in other tissues...
