Real-time movement and signaling of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor

AI simplified

Abstract

The human GLP-1 receptor internalizes rapidly in response to GLP-1 and its analogues.

  • Internalization occurs with similar speed for GLP-1, exendin-4, and liraglutide.
  • Receptor internalization was confirmed in mouse pancreatic islets.
  • GLP-1 receptor recycles faster when activated by GLP-1 compared to its analogues.
  • A prolonged cycling of ligand-activated GLP-1 receptors is linked to extended cAMP signaling.
