Role of palmitoylation on GLP-1 receptor responses in pancreatic beta cells

Lyu Zekun , Piedade Carolina , Bitsi Stavroula , Jones Ben , Tomas Alejandra

We have previously described how signaling responses for the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R), a class B GPCR that plays key roles in metabolic regulation and is a prime type 2 diabetes (T2D) target, are modulated by intracellular membrane trafficking. We have also recently shown that binding to the therapeutic GLP-1R agonist exendin-4 (Exenatide) triggers increased clustering and segregation of biologically active GLP-1Rs into cholesterol-rich plasma membrane nanodom...
