Free fatty acid receptor 3 (FFA3) is a G-protein coupled receptor that in humans is encoded by the FFAR3 gene.[5][6] It is a member of the free fatty acid receptors group of receptors.

Animal studies

Knockout mouse studies have implicated FFAR3 in diabetes,[7] colitis,[8] hypertension[9] and asthma.[10] However, discrepancies between the pathways activated by FFAR3 agonists in human cells and the equivalent murine counterparts have been observed.[11]

Heteromerization

FFAR3 may interact with FFAR2 to form a FFAR2-FFAR3 receptor heteromer with signalling that is distinct from the parent homomers.[12]
