GPR21 Activators
G Protein-Coupled Receptor 21 (GPR21) is a protein in humans that is encoded by the GPR21 gene. This protein is part of the large G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) family, which plays a vital role in many different biological processes by transmitting signals across cell membranes.
GPCRs bind to specific molecules outside the cell (ligands), causing a change in the receptor's shape and triggering a series of events inside the cell. These intracellular events often involve the activation of G proteins, leading to various cellular responses.While there is limited information about the precise role of GPR21, some studies suggest it may be involved in metabolic processes. A study in mice showed that deletion of the GPR21 gene resulted in improved glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, suggesting a potential role in glucose homeostasis and insulin signaling.
