Product Information

• Name: Glucagon-like Peptide 1 (Human 7-37)
• Synonyms: His-Ala-Glu-Gly-Thr-Phe-Thr-Ser-Asp-Val-Ser-Ser-Tyr-Leu-Glu-Gly-Gln-Ala-Ala-Lys-Glu-Phe-Ile-Ala-Trp-Leu-Val-Lys-Gly-Arg-Gly, GLP-1 ( 7-37) (Human, Bovine, Canine, Rat, Guinea pig)
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: GLP-1 is a peptide hormone that is released by the pancreas in response to food intake. This hormone activates receptors on the L cells of the ileum and duodenum, which causes increased production of insulin and decreased production of glucagon. GLP-1 also decreases appetite, slows gastric emptying, and reduces blood glucose levels by increasing the uptake of glucose into muscle cells. GLP-1 has been shown to be effective in reducing body weight, lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels, improving glycemic control, and preventing diabetes. The GLP-1 receptor is found in ion channels and cell biology as well as pharmacology.
