Funded Activity Summary

The physiological importance of GLP-1R and GIPR dimerisation. Cell surface receptors are vital for relaying information from hormones to the cell to influence cell function, and ultimately physiological responses. Receptors can form oligomers with other receptors, but whether this can influence cellular and physiological responses is not yet defined. This biology-based project aims to bridge this knowledge gap by studying the dimerisation between two related receptors involved in whole body metabolic homeostasis. Our team will deliver new knowledge into the disciplines of pharmacology, cellular biology, metabolism and physiology, and provide interdisciplinary research training to students and junior scientists, and strengthen research collaboration within and outside of Australia.
