MedKoo Cat#: 571512 | Name: MK-8666

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

MK-8666 is a partial GPCR (G-protein-coupled receptor) agonist that is coordinated with the action of GPR40. GPR40, also known as free fatty acid (FFA) receptor 1 modulates fatty acid-induced insulin secretion in pancreatic beta cells and in intestinal enteroendocrine cells. Thus, MK-8666 has been investigated for treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus and has been shown to robustly lower glucose without negative effects.

More Info
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are signal receptors encoded by approximately 1000 Genes. They are targets in therapies involving neurotransmitters, hormones, peptides, chemokines, lipids, purines, ions, photons, and odorants, and thus can be used in treating central nervous system disorders, cancers, and cardiac, metabolic, and inflammatory diseases.
