amylin (1-37) (human)

Amylin (1-37) (human) (hIAPP (1-37)), a peptide hormone located in pancreatic beta-cell secretory granules, is characterized by an amidated C-terminus and a disulfide bond between cysteine residues 2 and 7 [1].

Amylin (1-37), human acetate (hIAPP (1-37), acetate), a peptide hormone containing 37 amino acids secreted by the pancreas in conjunction with insulin, inhibits glucagon secretion and produces satiety during glucose homeostasis, and is a major component of amyloid deposits in the pancreas of patients with type 2 diabetes.

Amylin, amide, human TFA, a 37-amino acid polypeptide, functions as a pancreatic hormone cosecreted with insulin, playing distinct roles in metabolism and glucose homeostasis by regulating blood sugar through inhibiting glucagon secretion, delaying gastric emptying, and promoting satiety [1].

Amylin (8-37) (human) (hIAPP (8-37)) is the 8-37 fragment of human islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) and exhibits a duplex folding with a hairpin structure [1].

Acetyl-Amylin (8-37) (human) is a specific amylin antagonist [1].
