| GENE SUMMARY |
|---|
| This gene encodes a G-protein coupled receptor for gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), which was originally identified as an activity in gut extracts that inhibited gastric acid secretion and gastrin release, but subsequently was demonstrated to stimulate insulin release in the presence of elevated glucose. Mice lacking this gene exhibit higher blood glucose levels with impaired initial insulin response after oral glucose load. Defect in this gene thus may contribute to the pathogenesis of diabetes.

| Retinopathy | 1. We identified differential DNA methylation of 349 CpG sites representing 233 unique genes including TNF, CHI3L1 (also known as YKL-40), CHN2, GIPR, GLRA1, GPX1, AHRR, and BCOR in cases with PDR compared with controls. | 26248552 |
| Neuropathy | 1. Investigations using mice deficient in GIPR and/or GLP-1R have clarified roles of the incretins in enhancement of glucose-dependent insulin secretion from beta cells as well as divergent biological activities with therapeutic implications for diabetes-related complications, such as cardiovascular diseases, retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy, and comorbidities, such as cognitive impairment, bone fracture and obesity. | 24095602 |
