Human Amylin is a small pancreatic β-cell hormone that forms aggregates in the absence of insulin and is a key pathological feature of type II diabetes mellitus.

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].

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.
