Amylin is a peptide that displays 50% homology with calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), Amylin is colocalized with somatostatin in endocrine cells of the gastric fundus. In isolated mouse stomach, amylin caused a concentration-dependent decrease in ac
Amylin (8-37), rat, is a truncated analog of native Amylin that selectively inhibits insulin-related glucose uptake and glycogen deposition in muscle tissue. Also known as islet amyloid precursor peptide (IAPP), Amylin is co-secreted with insulin.
Amylin (8-37), human, derived from human Amylin, possesses direct vasodilator effects in isolated mesenteric resistance arteries of rats. Human Amylin is a small pancreatic β-cell hormone that forms aggregates in the absence of insulin and is a key pathological feature of type II diabetes mellitus.
Calcitonin (8-32), salmon, is a highly selective amylin receptor antagonist. Calcitonin, a hormone involved in calcium and phosphorus metabolism, is primarily produced by the parafollicular or C cells in the thyroid gland of mammals.
