Spurred by the enormous therapeutic success of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists (GLP1-RAs) against diabetes and obesity, glucagon family receptor pharmacology has garnered a tremendous amount of interest. Glucagon family receptors, e.g., the glucagon receptor itself (GCGR), the GLP-1R, and the glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide receptor (GIPR), belong to the incretin receptor superfamily, i.e., receptors that increase blood glucose-dependent insulin secretion. All incretin receptors are class B1 G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), coupling to the G Show less
