Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Free Fatty Acid Receptor 4 (FFAR4/GPR120) is a lipid-sensing GPCR, yet quantitative evidence linking binding-pocket residues to endogenous fatty-acid selectivity and coupling behavior remains limited. In particular, how Arg99, Trp198 and Trp207 cooperatively shape ligand-class dependence (saturated vs unsaturated; short-vs long-chain) has not been systematically quantified using a unified experimental...
