Revealing the tissue-level complexity of endogenous glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor expression and signaling.

The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP1R) is a class B G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) involved in glucose homeostasis and food intake. GLP1R agonists (GLP1RA) are widely used in the treatment of diabetes and obesity, yet visualizing the endogenous localization, organization and dynamics of a GPCR has so far remained out of reach. In the present study, we generate mice harboring an enzyme self-label genome-edited into the endogenous Glp1r locus.
