| Product Name | Glucagon-Like Peptide 1, GLP-1 amide, human |
| Purity | HPLC>95% |
| Description | In small intestinal L cells, proglucagon is cleaved into GLP-1 (1-36) due to glucose uptake. Before secretion into the circulation, GLP-1 (1-36) is further processed into amidated GLP-1 (7-36) and a small amount of glycine-extended GLP-1 (7-37). Both GLP-1(7-36) and GLP-1(7-37) can cause glucose-dependent release of insulin by pancreatic cells. They also inhibit gastric motility (gastric emptying), suppress plasma glucagon levels (glucose production), and may play a role in promoting satiety and stimulating glucose processing in peripheral tissues, independent of insulin. GLP-1 polypeptides such as GLP-1 (1-36) have been used to study the recovery of pancreatic cell function. GLP-1 is also produced in the central nervous system |
