This gene encodes a member of the GP40 family of G
protein-coupled receptors that are clustered together on chromosome
19. The encoded protein is a receptor for medium and long chain
free fatty acids and may be involved in the metabolic regulation of
insulin secretion. Polymorphisms in this gene may be associated
with type 2 diabetes.1) Bailey, S.D., et al. Diabetes Care 33(10):2250-2253(2010)
