The physiological impact of an N-terminal Halo-tag on GIPR function in mice

Iona Davies, Yusman Manchanda, Kyle W. Sloop, Stephen Robert Bloom, Tricia Tan, Alejandra Tomás, Ben J. Jones

This study evaluates the impact of an N-terminal Halo-tag on GIPR function in mice, finding reduced cAMP responses and impaired glucose tolerance in tagged mice.
