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
