Human Free Fatty Acid Receptor 1 (FFAR-1), also known as GPR40, is a class A G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) for medium and long chain saturated and unsaturated fatty acids encoded by the FFAR1 gene. FFAR-1 is expressed in pancreas and it plays an important role in glucose homeostasis acting as a nutrient sensor. Fatty acid binding increases glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, and may also enhance the secretion of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1).

Scientific Data Images for Human FFAR1/GPR40 Antibody
Detection of FFAR1/GPR40 in Human Brain Hypothalamus.
FFAR1/GPR40 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human brain hypothalamus using Mouse Anti-Human FFAR1/GPR40 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB11025) at 5 µg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Mouse IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC001). Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using VisUCyte Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # VCTS021). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm in neurons.
