Glucagon Like Peptide 2 Receptor; Glucagon-Like Peptide 2 Receptor; GLP-2 Receptor; GLP-2-R; GLP-2R

This gene encodes a G protein-coupled receptor that is closely related to the glucagon receptor and binds to glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP2). Signalling through GLP2 stimulates intestinal growth and increases villus height in the small intestine, concomitant with increased crypt cell proliferation and decreased enterocyte apoptosis.
