G protein-coupled receptors are endocytosed upon activation and several are active from internal membranes. When activated, glucagon receptor (GCGR) undergoes endocytosis and transits via EEA1-marked endosomes. Endocytosis-dependent induction of gluconeogenic genes in hepatocytes implicates the endosomal signaling paradigm for GCGR.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
