Interestingly, like BETP, compound 2 interacts with cysteine 347 6.36 via covalent modification at the cytoplasmic side of GLP-1R, consistent with our previous observation that an intact extracellular domain (ECD) is required for the activity of BETP and compound 2 34 albeit the basis for such a requirement remains unknown
