In pancreatic beta cells GIPR potentiates glucose-stimulated insulin secretion through cAMP, and also engages a cAMP-independent, ERK-dependent cytoprotective program that upregulates TCF1/Tcf7 to promote beta-cell survival, a pathway not shared by GLP-1R [PMID:26642437, PMID:27422784]. The receptor signals through both Gs/cAMP and β-arrestin 2, with β-arrestin 2 recruitment required for full biological activity and for endosomal Gs-mediated signaling, while exhibiting preferential plasma-membrane recycling, low internalization, and a pharmacology distinct from GLP-1R [PMID:36774542, PMID:38871982]. Agonist exposure generates ligand-specific C-terminal serine phosphorylation signatures, and chronic agonism drives homologous functional desensitization in islets and adipocytes through a mechanism largely independent of internalization or β-arrestin recruitment [PMID:38091482, PMID:39788289, PMID:33020469]. Beyond the islet, GIPR governs adipose insulin sensitization via enhanced white-adipose glucose disposal in a weight- and GLP-1R-independent manner, with WAT GIPR residing predominantly in pericytes and mesothelial cells rather than adipocytes [PMID:34003802, PMID:35192688]. In the CNS, GIPR signaling—specifically in GABAergic neurons—is required for food-intake suppression, the anti-aversive effect, and the synergistic weight loss of dual GLP-1R/GIPR agonism, with brainstem area postrema and dorsal vagal complex circuits engaged, and agonism versus antagonism reducing body weight through mechanistically opposite routes [PMID:33571454, PMID:35499381, PMID:39612941, PMID:40301583]. GIPR additionally drives adrenocortical steroidogenesis and, when ectopically expressed via somatic 19q13.32 rearrangements that juxtapose the locus with glucocorticoid response elements, causes food-dependent cortisol secretion in adrenal adenomas and GH secretion in somatotropinomas [PMID:22043004, PMID:28931750, PMID:30567927].

The receptor signals through both Gs/cAMP and β-arrestin 2, with β-arrestin 2 recruitment required for full biological activity and for endosomal Gs-mediated signaling, while exhibiting preferential plasma-membrane recycling, low internalization, and a pharmacology distinct from GLP-1R [#22, #26].
