Gene: GLP2R

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a G protein-coupled receptor that is closely related to the glucagon receptor and binds to glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP2). Signalling through GLP2 stimulates intestinal growth and increases villus height in the small intestine, concomitant with increased crypt cell proliferation and decreased enterocyte apoptosis.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 17

Location in Chromosome : 17p13.1

Description of this Gene: glucagon like peptide 2 receptor

Type of Gene: protein-coding
