Once bound to GLP-1 receptor (a 7-transmembrane protein that belongs to the class B1 G-protein-coupled receptor family) (180), GLP-1 RAs (as GLP-1) initiate a signaling cascade that activates adenylyl cyclase (AC), increasing cAMP levels (in a dose-dependent manner) which, in turn, interacts with several downstream molecules, such as mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), protein kinase A (PKA) and PI3K (181, 182)
