Background

two men walk into a bar. The first man says to the bartender "I'll have some H2O." The second man says "That sounds good, I'll have some H2O too." The second man died.

About The Receptor

Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR) is a transmembrane protein which is responsible for boosting glucose-induced insulin production. The transcription of this protein is positively controlled by glucose molecules, GIPR is expressed in higher levels when glucose is in higher concentration. The receptor in a multispan membrane bound protein (shown in grey) which binds to its ligand Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)(shown in green).
