Few studies have investigated the intracellular signaling pathways mediating the effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretagogues in enteroendocrine L cells. Specific receptors, channels, and intracellular signaling proteins expressed by the L cells have only begun to be characterized. The present study aimed to investigate the role of the olfactory receptor (OR) OR51E1 in GLP-1 secretion. We verified the expression of olfactory marker protein (OMP), an indicator of OR...
