glucagon , human

Glucagon significantly impacts protein and amino acid metabolism. It hinders the integration of amino acids into the proteins of the liver, muscle, and pancreas, augmenting nitrogen excretion and stimulating hepatic urea synthesis. Additionally, it elevates hepatic transaminase and urea cycle enzyme levels. Glucagon also enhances hepatic amino acid uptake, facilitating their conversion into liver glycogen, and reduces blood amino acid concentrations [1].

Human glucagon-like peptide-1-(7-36)-Lys(Biotin) amide, a biotin-labeled variant of glucagon-like peptide-1-(7-36), is a gastrointestinal peptide known for its antidiabetogenic properties, including enhancing insulin secretion [1] [2].

Biotinyl-Glucagon (1-29), encompassing human, bovine, and porcine versions, is a biotinylated form of glucagon. This peptide hormone, synthesized by the pancreas's α-cells, elevates glucose and fatty acid levels in the bloodstream [1] [2].

(Met(O)27)-Glucagon (1-29) (human, rat, porcine) is a modified glucagon exhibiting the same maximum glucose-synthesizing activity in rat hepatocytes as its native form, but with reduced potency, highlighting the importance of methionine in glucagon's attachment to hepatic receptors [1].

"(Asp28)-Glucagon (1-29) (human, rat, porcine)" is an analog of glucagon with an aspartic acid (Asp) substitution at position 28, notably enhancing its aqueous solubility at physiological pH levels while retaining glucagon's innate biological activity [1].

Glucagon-like peptide 1 (1-37), human (TFA), is a highly potent agonist of the GLP-1 receptor and is a pancreatic hormone synthesized through post-translational processing of proglucagon.

Glucagon-like peptide 1 (1-37), human, is a highly potent agonist of the GLP-1 receptor and a pancreatic hormone synthesized by post-translational processing of proglucagon. Unlike truncated forms of GLP-1, it neither affects food intake in rats nor enhances pancreatic insulin secretion.

Glucagon-like peptide 1 (1-37), human acetate is a highly potent the GLP-1 receptor agonist.

Glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP-2) is a recently identified intestinal epithelium-specific growth factor that has been shown to reduce the severity of inflammatory disorders of the intestine in rodent models. Currently Glucagon-Like Peptide 2 is used as a po

Glucagon is a 29-amino-acid peptide hormone liberated in the alpha cells of the islets of Langerhans. Glucagon-producing alpha cells represent one of the earliest populations of detectable islet cells in the developing endocrine pancreas.

Glucagon (19-29), human acetate a COOH-terminal fragment processed from glucagon, is a potent and efficient inhibitor of insulin secretion.

Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist(EC50 of 6.2 pM in a reporter assay using BHK cells expressing the human receptor).

GLP-1R Agonist DMB is an agonist of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R; KB = 26.3 nM for the recombinant human receptor).

Glucagon (1-29), bovine, human, porcine is a hormone produced by pancreatic α-cells with glucagon activity, which promotes glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis, and is used in the study of obesity and diabetes.

Glucagon (1-29), bovine, human, porcine hydrochloride (Porcine glucagon hydrochloride) is a peptide hormone produced by pancreatic α-cells that activates HNF4α, increases HNF4α phosphorylation, and stimulates gluconeogenesis.

ECC5004 is a compound that activates the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R). In HEK293 cells expressing the human GLP-1R, ECC5004 induces cAMP accumulation with an EC50 value of less than 20 nM.

ZP3022 is a dual agonist targeting the glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) and cholecystokinin 2 (CCK2) receptor. It selectively enhances cAMP accumulation or ERK phosphorylation in HEK293 cells with GLP-1R or CCK2 receptor expression, compared to ERK phosphorylation in cells with the CCK1 receptor (EC50s: 0.02, 10.3, and >1,000 nM for human receptors, respectively). At 40 nM, ZP3022 promotes proliferation of rat neonatal β-cells in vitro. It also boosts glucose-induced insulin secretion (GSIS) in rat pancreatic islets at 10 and 100 nM concentrations and decreases body weight in rats at 40 nmol/kg doses twice daily. Administered at 100 nmol/kg daily, ZP3022 enhances β-cell and total pancreatic mass and improves glucose tolerance in db/db mice, while reducing food intake but not body weight in these mice.

K-833 is a GPR119 agonist with EC50 values of 39.8 nM, 100 nM, 75.4 nM, and 12.6 nM for human, mouse, rat, and dog respectively. In acute intestinal peptide secretion in mice, K-833 modestly increases the secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and, when used in combination with AM-5262, can synergistically enhance GLP-1 levels. K-833 is applicable in weight loss research.

NVP-DPP728 is a potent, reversible, nitrile-dependent inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) with an inhibition constant (K i) of 11 nM for human DPP-IV amidolytic activity. By inhibiting the degradation of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), NVP-DPP728 enhances insulin release following glucose intake, making it useful for diabetes research [1].
