GPR120 is a receptor for unsaturated long-chain free fatty acids
GPR120 is a receptor for many unsaturated long-chain free fatty acids (FFAs) with carbon chains 16-22 in length, the most potent tested being alpha-linolenic acid. Stimulation of GPR120 signals via G-alpha- q (Hirasawa et al. 2005, Oh et al. 2010)
