GLP-1 Receptor Levels and Skin Diseases: Genetic Analysis and Real-World Data

GLP-1 Therapies Weekly Brief ↗PubMed ↗DOI ↗

Updated Oct 8, 2026

Abstract

GLP-1R is widely expressed in multiple tissues and organs, including skin and subcutaneous tissue.

GLP-1R has diverse physiological roles in metabolism and immunity.
The relationship between GLP-1R expression and dermatological diseases is not well understood.
There may be a potential causal association between GLP-1R expression and skin conditions.

Simplified

Although glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) is widely expressed in multiple tissues and organs including skin and subcutaneous tissue, with diverse physiological roles in metabolism and immunity, the potential causal association between GLP-1R expression and dermatological diseases remains unclear.
