Synonyms | GPR109B, HCA3, HM74B, NIACR2 |
Function | Receptor for 3-OH-octanoid acid mediates a negative feedback regulation of adipocyte lipolysis to counteract prolipolytic influences under conditions of physiological or pathological increases in beta- oxidation rates. Acts as a low affinity receptor for nicotinic acid. This pharmacological effect requires nicotinic acid doses that are much higher than those provided by a normal diet. |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. |
Tissue Location | Expression largely restricted to adipose tissue and spleen. |
Volume | 50 µl |
