gastric inhibitory polypeptide

Gene Summary

Enables signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of D-glucose transmembrane transport; positive regulation of cell communication; and triglyceride homeostasis. Located in extracellular space and neuronal cell body. Used to study type 2 diabetes mellitus. Biomarker of hyperinsulinism; hypothyroidism; obesity; and pancreas disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human GIP (gastric inhibitory polypeptide). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]
