PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

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)
    • HOMOLOGY
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • glucagon family
    • CATEGORY regulatory , storage
    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
