Preptin, 1mg

Overview

Preptin is a 34 amino acid peptide hormone derived from pro-IGF-II, specifically from the amino acids Asp(69) to Leu(102). This unique peptide is secreted by pancreatic β-cells and has been found in various tissues, including mammary tissue, the pancreas, and kidneys. Notably, elevated levels of preptin in plasma are associated with obesity, making it a vital component in research related to metabolic disorders.
