• Synonyms: H-His-Pro-Lys-Arg-Pro-Trp-Ile-Leu-OH H-HPKRPWIL-OH
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Xenopsin-related peptide 1 (XP-1) is a synthetic peptide that has been shown to bind to the neurotensin receptor. XP-1 is expressed in gastrointestinal tissues and has been found to modulate intestinal motility, as well as glucose homeostasis. It also has immunohistochemical staining for pancreatic tissues and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, which are both involved in glucose control. XP-1 can reduce high plasma concentrations of glucose by stimulating the pancreas and lowering the release of glucagon from the α cells of the pancreas. The function of XP-1 is not yet fully understood, but it may have potential therapeutic effects on diabetes mellitus type 2.
