GLP-1 (7-36) Amide, Human, Mouse, Rat, Bovine, Guinea Pig

GLP-1 (7-36) amide is secreted from the lower small intestine and shows a strong insulinotropic effect. GLP-1 (7-36) amide is considered as the most important incretin hormone. Its action is mediated by receptors expressed by the endocrine pancreatic B-cells. Considerable interest has focused on the development of this peptide as a therapeutic strategy for non-insulin-dependent (type 2 ) diabetes mellitus and associated neuropathy.
