GPBA Receptor Agonists Small Molecules and Peptides

GPBA receptors (GPBAR1, M-BAR, TGR5) are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that are activated by bile acids. They are primarily expressed in the gallbladder, ileum and colon, and are important in the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism, and energy expenditure.

GPBA receptors are members of the class A (rhodopsin-like) subgroup of GPCRs and are present at varying levels in the liver, gallbladder, ileum, colon, heart, spleen, kidney, placenta, leukocytes, skeletal muscle, brown adipose ...
