antagonist at the human GLP-1 receptor

GLP-1 (1-36) amide (human, rat) is a molecular variant of the GLP-1 (7-36) amide and has the capacity to stimulate [14C]aminopyrine accumulation in enzymatically dispersed, enriched rat parietal cells [1].

GLP-1 secretion by human enteroendocrine NCI-H716 cells is augmented in a dose-dependent manner by the addition of CPE.

Glp-1(7-37) acetate is an intestinal insulin hormone that enhances glucose-induced insulin secretion.

GLP-1 (7-37) is a truncated, bioactive form of GLP-1 that is the product of proglucagon processing in intestinal endocrine L cells.
