Free Fatty Acid Receptor

Free Fatty Acid Receptor

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) known as free fatty acid receptors (FFARs) are activated by free fatty acids (FFAs). FFAR1/GPR40, FFAR2/GPR43, FFAR3/GPR41, and FFAR4/GPR120 are the four FFARs that have been thoroughly characterized. FFA2 and FFA3 are activated by short chain FFAs, primarily acetate, butyrate, and propionate; FFARs are classified according to the chain length of the FFA ligands that activate each FFAR. FFA1 and GPR120 are activated by medium- or long-chain FFAs, whereas GPR84 is activated by medium-chain FFAs.Each FFAR can therefore function as an FFA sensor with selectivity for a specific FFA carbon chain length derived from food or food-derived metabolites. According to research, FFARs play a variety of physiological roles, including promoting the release of the hormones insulin and incretin, adipocyte differentiation, anti-inflammatory effects, neuronal responses, and taste preferences. It is possible to think of these FFAR physiological functions as regulating immune and energy homeostasis. As a result, therapeutic strategies for the treatment of metabolic disorders like type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome have focused on FFARs.
