amylin , human

Amylin (8-37), human, derived from human Amylin, possesses direct vasodilator effects in isolated mesenteric resistance arteries of rats. 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, 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].

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.

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

Amylin, amide, human is a 37-amino acid peptide hormone co-secreted with insulin to regulate postprandial glucose levels, reducing glucagon secretion and delays gastric emptying. DAP Amide's tendency to aggregate into amyloid fibrils is associated with pancreatic β-cell damage in type 2 diabetes.

Pramlintide acetate, a polypeptide analogue of human amylin, functions as an antidiabetic agent and exhibits antineoplastic activity in colorectal cancer.

Tyr-α-CGRP is an N-terminal extended tyrosinated analogue of α-calcitonin gene-related peptide . It binds to amylin receptors AMY1 and AMY3 in COS-7 cells expressing the human receptors (IC50s = 141 and 1.86 nM, respectively). Tyr-α-CGRP also binds to and stimulates cAMP accumulation in rat L6 myocytes (IC50 = 4 nM; EC50 = 12 nM). It also binds to rat brain and spleen membrane preparations (IC50s = 0.2 and 0.5 nM, respectively), induces positive chronotropic and inotropic effects in isolated right and left guinea pig atria (EC50s = 282 and 74 nM, respectively), and inhibits the twitch response in rat vas deferens (EC50 = 1.9 nM).

Pramlintide, a polypeptide analog of human amylin, is an antidiabetic agent with antineoplastic properties in colorectal cancer.

Pramlintide TFA, a polypeptide analogue of human amylin and an antidiabetic agent, exhibits antineoplastic properties in colorectal cancer [1].

NF(N-Me)GA(N-Me)IL is a biologically active peptide, representing a modified segment (amino acids 22 to 27) of the human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP) sequence NFGAIL. This modification includes N-methylations at G24 and I26, transforming the amyloidogenic and cytotoxic nature of the original sequence into a non-amyloidogenic and non-cytotoxic variant. Moreover, the peptide maintains the ability to bind with high affinity to full-length hIAPP, effectively inhibiting its fibril formation.
