Cocaine and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) is expressed in pancreatic islet cells and neuronal elements. We have previously established insulinotropic actions of CART in human and rodent islets. The receptor for CART in the pancreatic beta cells is unidentified. We used RNA sequencing of Cartpt knockdown (KD) INS-1 832/13 cells and identified GPR162 as the most Cartpt-regulated receptor. We therefore tested if GPR162 mediates the effects of CART in beta cells. Binding of CART to GPR162 was established using proximity ligation assay, radioactive binding, and co-immunoprecipitation, and KD of Gpr162 mRNA caused reduced binding. Gpr162 KD cells had blunted CARTp-induced exocytosis, and reduced CARTp-induced insulin secretion. Furthermore, we identified a hitherto undescribed GPR162-dependent role of CART as a regulator of cytoskeletal arrangement. Thus, our findings provide mechanistic insight into the effect of CART on insulin secretion and show that GPR162 is the CART receptor in beta cells.
