glucagon-like peptide 1 , human tfa

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.

Albiglutide TFA, a glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 mimetic, is a long acting GLP-1 receptor agonist. Albiglutide TFA significantly reduces glycosylated hemoglobin (A1C). Albiglutide TFA can be used for type 2 diabetes (T2D) research. Albiglutide TFA is generated by the genetic fusion of a DPP-4-resistant GLP-1 dimer to human albumin [1] [2] [3] .

GLP-1(9-36)amide TFA, a predominant metabolite of glucagon-like peptide-1-(7-36)amide synthesized through dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) activity, functions as an antagonist to the human pancreatic GLP-1 receptor [1] [2].
