GPR119 je izražen predominantno u pankreasu i gastrointestinalnom traktu kod glodara i čoveka, kao i u mozgu glodara.[5] Za aktivaciju receptora je bilo pokazano da uzrokuje redukciju unosa hrane i povećanja telesne težine kod pacova.[5] Za GPR119 je takođe bilo pokazano da reguliše izlučivanje hormonainkretina i insulina.[6][7][8] Iz tih razloga je bilo predloženo da novi lekovi koji bi delovali na ovaj receptor možda mogu da budu korisni u lečenju gojaznosti i dijabetesa.[5][9][10]
