Molecular and in vivo phenotyping of missense variants of the human glucagon receptor

Abstract excerpt

Naturally occurring missense variants of G protein–coupled receptors with loss of function have been linked to metabolic disease in case studies and in animal experiments. The glucagon receptor, one such G protein–coupled receptor, is involved in maintaining blood glucose and amino acid homeostasis; however, loss-of-function mutations of this receptor have not been systematically characterized. Here, we observed...
