Notes: GPR40 is a seven transmembrane G Protein-coupled receptor with signalling mediated by medium- and long-chain fatty acids.{13140,13139} Found predominantly in the β-cells of pancreatic islets, it has been implicated in the regulation of insulin secretion.{14194,14741} Overexpression of GPR40 in mouse β cells leads to glucose intolerance suggesting a link between GPR40 expression and diabetes.{14194,14741} The receptor has also been identified as a possible mediator of oleate- and linoleate- stimulated proliferation of the human breast cancer cell line, MCF-7.{14742,13137} GPR40 has a calculated mass of 31.4 kDa bases on its amino acid sequence.
