Description:
DHRS7C is a member of the Short-Chain Dehydrogenase/Reductase and Related Enzymes (SDR), which are involved in the metabolism of a large variety of compounds, including steroid hormones, prostaglandins, retinoids, lipids and xenobiotics. In humans, over 70 SDR genes have been identified. The GLP2 receptor (GLP2R) is a G protein-coupled receptor superfamily member closely related to the glucagon receptor and GLP1 receptor. GLP2 stimulates intestinal growth and upregulates villus height in the small intestine, concomitant with increased crypt cell proliferation and decreased enterocyte apoptosis. Moreover, GLP2 prevents intestinal hypoplasia resulting from total parenteral nutrition. GLP2R, a G protein-coupled receptor superfamily member is expressed in the gut and is closely related to the glucagon receptor (GCGR) and the receptor for GLP1 (GLP1R). Polymorphisms in this intergenic region (DHRS7C-GLP2R) associated with F-cell levels in sickle cell patients.
