Amylin (1-37), Islet Amyloid Polypeptide, IAPP, human – 1 mg

Overview

Amylin (1-37), also known as Islet Amyloid Polypeptide (IAPP), is a critical hormone produced by the beta cells of the pancreas. Co-secreted alongside insulin, this 37-amino acid peptide plays a significant role in glycemic control, making it essential for maintaining blood sugar levels. Understanding the function of Amylin can provide valuable insights into metabolic disorders, particularly noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, where amyloid deposits in the Islets of Langerhans are a common concern.
