GLP-1 (7-36) amide, Human

GLP-1(7-36) amide is a major bioactive incretin form derived from proglucagon. It activates GLP-1R to enhance glucose-dependent insulin secretion, suppress glucagon release, slow gastric emptying and regulate appetite.

• gastrointestinal hormone research
• incretin and metabolic signaling
• gut-brain axis studies
• GPCR and endocrine pharmacology

Exact peptide boundaries and C-terminal amidation are integral to product identity. In incretin studies, distinguish intact bioactive hormones from DPP-4-cleaved metabolites and analogs.
