Biochem/physiol Actions
Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 Fragment 7-37 human (GLP-1-(7-37)) interacts with the GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1r). It mediates insulin release by stimulating the cyclic AMP accumulation in islet cells GLP-l(7-37) is a potential therapeutic agent due to its insulin-secretagogue functionality.
General description
Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 Fragment 7-37 human (GLP-1-(7-37)) is an amino-truncated form of GLP-1.
GLP-1 (7-37) is a truncated, bioactive form of GLP-1 that is the product of proglucagon processing in intestinal endocrine L cells. It is a potent insulinotropic hormone.
