Product Description
GLP-1 is a kind of gut hormone secreted by human body. It is produced by the action of intestinal proteolytic enzyme by proglucolon, so it is called Glucagon-like peptide. GLP-1 (7-36) is one of them. There are two forms of GLP-1 in vivo, one is GLP-1 (7-36), which is a peptide composed of 30 amino acid residues,C-terminal acetylation of peptide chain;and the other is GLP-1 (7-37), which is a peptide composed of 31 amino acid residues. GLP-1 (7-36) and GLP-1 (7-37) have the same effect on insulin secretion. Studies have shown that GLP-1 can significantly promote insulin secretion when the blood glucose concentration is higher than 6mmol / L, but once the blood glucose concentration returns to the normal value, it will no longer continue to function, which is very useful in the clinical treatment of type II diabetes.
