The free fatty acid receptor is a G-protein coupled receptor which binds free fatty acids.cite journal | author = Covington DK, Briscoe CA, Brown AJ, Jayawickreme CK | title = The G-protein-coupled receptor 40 family (GPR40-GPR43) and its role in nutrient sensing | journal = Biochem. Soc. Trans. | volume = 34 | issue = Pt 5 | pages = 770–3 | year = 2006 | pmid = 17052194 | doi = 10.1042/BST0340770 | issn = ] There are four variants of the receptor, each encoded by a separate gene (gene|FFAR1, gene|FFAR2, gene|FFAR3, gene|GPR42).
