glp-2 (1-34) (human)

GLP-2 (1-34) (human), a polypeptide secreted from the intestine shortly after eating, is used in research related to bone remodeling processes [1].

GLP-1 amide is a peptide hormone cleaved from proglucagon in the pancreas.1,2 Mice lacking the glucagon receptor (Gcgr-/-) have approximately nine-fold higher levels of total GLP-1 amide, including GLP-1 (1-36) amide and truncated GLP-1 (7-36) amide , in pancreatic tissue compared to wild-type mice.2References1.
