YE-120 is a GPR35 agonist (EC50 = 32 nM in DMR assays). YE-120 also displays partial agonist activity in a β-arrestin translocation assay (EC50 = 10.2 μM). GPR35 is a Class A, rhodopsin-like G protei n-coupled receptor which is predominantly expressed in immune and gastrointestinal tissue, with notable expression in the ileum (rat and human GPR35), the spleen (rat and murine GPR35) and the pancrea s (human GPR35).
