Amylin, amide, human

Amylin, amide, human, a 37-amino acid polypeptide, is a pancreatic hormone cosecreted with insulin that exerts unique roles in metabolism and glucose homeostasis. Amylin, amide, human inhibits glucagon secretion, delays gastric emptying, and acts as a satiety agent^[1]. In Vitro:MCF-7 cells endogenously express human amylin receptor CTR1 and CTR2. Stimulation of the receptor with Amylin, amide, human results in the production of cAMP. Amylin, amide, human (0.001 nM-1000 μM) results in an EC₅₀ of 35.2±7.5 nM^[1]. In Vivo:Amylin, amide, human (400 μg peptide /kg body weight) is injected by subcutaneous route in separated groups of swiss male mice. A typical PK curve for the free amylin is observed, with a half-time of 23 min^[1].
