Background

GLP-1R, a member of the class B family of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs or secretin-like receptors), is a transmembrane protein primarily found in pancreatic β cells and brain neurons and is activated by the peptide hormone glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and glucagon that is secreted from intestinal L-cells after nutrient ingestion. GLP-1R plays an important role in controlling blood sugar level by enhancing glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, glucose, lipid metabolism, and satiety. Its role in the brain seems to be in the control of appetite. Research efforts have focused on the regulation of the GLP-1R mediated signaling pathway as a therapeutic approach to type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and have resulted in the development of several FDA-approved GLP-1R agonists. Dulaglutide, with the brand name of Trulicity, is a GLP-1R agonist, approved for commercialization since 2014, and by 2020 was amongst the most sold medications in the United States. It is used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and associated cardiovascular complications. A role in tumor development in patients with T2DM is also being investigated but further studies are required to fully understand the functions of GLP-1R and its agonists.
