Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) is a class B G-protein-coupled receptor. Human GLP-1R consists of an N-terminal, extracellular domain (ECD) containing 6 conserved cysteine residues and a transmembrane domain with seven membrane-spanning alpha-helices, characteristic of GPCRs. Activation of GLP-1R signaling regulates secretion of insulin from pancreatic beta -cells in a glucose-dependent manner. Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP1R) signaling has been shown to have antipsychotic properties in animal models and to impact glucose-dependent insulin release, satiety, memory, and learning in man.
