Glucagon-Like Peptide 1, GLP-1 (7-36), amide, human [FAM-Trp31] – 0.5 mg

Overview

The Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 (GLP-1) (7-36) amide, human [FAM-Trp31] is a naturally occurring incretin hormone that plays a crucial role in glucose metabolism. This fluorescently labeled peptide, with Tryptophan residue 31 modified by Fluorescein, aids in the release of insulin from pancreatic beta cells in a glucose-dependent manner. As a cleaved product of GLP-1 (1-36) amide, it also influences gastric motility, glucagon suppression, and the regulation of appetite, making it essential for researchers focusing on metabolic health.

Key Features

• Fluorescently labeled for easy detection
• Promotes insulin release in a glucose-dependent fashion
• Involved in gastric motility and appetite regulation
• Available in a 0.5 mg package for convenient use
• Perfect for research in diabetes and metabolic disorders
