The G protein-coupled bile acid receptor 1 (GPBAR1) also known as G-protein coupled receptor 19 (GPCR19), membrane-type receptor for bile acids (M-BAR) or Takeda G protein-coupled receptor 5 (TGR5) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GPBAR1 gene.

History

TGR5 receptors were first discovered by Takaharu Maruyama in 2002 [1]. It was the first membrane bound G protein coupled receptor that was discovered for faster bile acid signaling [2]. Initially, up until the late 90's, bile acids were known only for its metabolic function of emulsifying fats and keeping cholesterol homeostasis. It wasn't until 1999 when they begun exploring into its role as a hormone and signaling molecule with the discovery of the nuclear bile acid receptors, Farnesoid X Receptors (FXR) [3].

Location

TGR5 receptors are primarily located in gastrointestinal tracts where bile acid functions are most prevalent. They can also be found throughout the body, including the nervous system, immune system, and various muscle groups[4].

Bile Acid Effects on TGR5

Bile acid binds to the TGR5 receptor which increases the secretion of GLP-1. GLP-1 is responsible for increasing insulin secretion in the presence of glucose, increases satiety, and increases pancreatic beta cell production (responsible for insulin secretion). GLP-1 is also used in medications to treat type 2 diabetes [5].

GLP-1 undergoes heightened production through 2 pathways. The first being the activation of Adenylyl cyclase and cAMP which begins a secondary messenger cascade to release GLP-1. The second pathway entails the increase in mitochondrial activity which increases the ATP to ADP ratio. This leads to the inactivation of potassium channels and an increase in calcium channel activity, sending a flood of calcium ions which lead to increased GLP-1 secretion.

Role

The primary function of the TGR5 receptor is for the binding of bile acid to elicit second messenger systems in the metabolic role of bile acids. It is also a receptor for other agonists, including activating various other pathways responsible for responses like inflammation [6].

G-Protein Coupled Receptor working mechanism

TGR5 receptors are a member of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily. As mentioned, this protein functions as a cell surface receptor for bile acids. Treatment of cells expressing this GPCR with bile acids induces the production of intracellular cAMP, activation of a MAP kinase signaling pathway, and internalization of the receptor. The receptor is implicated in the suppression of macrophage functions and regulation of energy homeostasis by bile acids.

One effect of this receptor is to activate deiodinases which convert the prohormone thyroxine (T4) to the active hormone triiodothyronine (T3). T3 in turn activates the thyroid hormone receptor which increases metabolic rate.
