PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains

N-terminal domain of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) plays an important role in regulating biological activity (N-terminal truncation is associated with reduced effects at the GIP receptor with a potential for antagonist action, further highlighting the role of the N-terminal domain of the peptide for bioactivity)

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION

extracellular

basic FUNCTION	playing an important role in maintaining glucose homeostasis as a potent stimulator of insulin secretion from pancreatic beta-cells following food ingestion and nutrient absorption
	plays a crucial role in switching from fat oxidation to fat accumulation under the diminished insulin action as a potential target for secondary prevention of insulin resistance
	gut hormone secreted from enteroendocrine K-cells
	important physiologic role in lipid homeostasis and possibly in the pathogenesis of obesity
	incretin hormone whereby it regulates postprandial glucose-dependent insulin secretion
	exerts functionally important actions on adipose, bone and brain function
	incretin that directly promotes fat accumulation in adipocytes
	putative modulatory functions of GIP/GIPR signaling in adult neurons
	critical role of GIP/GIPR signal transduction in promoting spontaneous recovery after nerve crush
	gastrointestinal hormone that regulates pancreatic islet function
