pancreatic α

Pancreatic Polypeptide (human) acetate is a C-terminally amidated 36 amino acid peptide, which acts as a neuropeptide Y (NPY) Y4 Y5 receptor agonist.

Pancreatic Polypeptide, rat acetate is an agonist of NPY receptor, with high affinity at NPYR4.

Pancreatic polypeptide, a peptide produced by the pancreas's endocrine PP cells, modulates pancreatic secretory functions and influences hepatic glycogen levels and gastrointestinal secretion [1].

Endogenous high affinity agonist for human NPY Y4 receptor (Ki = 0.056 nM). Believed to play an important role in the function of the gastrointestinal tract.

Agonist at Y4 neuropeptide Y receptors.

Pancreatic Polypeptide, rat, is an agonist of the NPY receptor with high affinity at NPYR4. Pancreatic Polypeptide (PP) is a 36-amino acid, C-terminally amidated peptide and a member of the PP-fold peptide family. It is produced and secreted by the PP cells of the islets of Langerhans.

Glucagon is a peptide hormone, produced by pancreatic α-cells. Glucagon reduces the activity of HNF-4. Glucagon stimulates gluconeogenesis. Glucagon enhances HNF4α phosphorylation.

GLP-1 amide is a peptide hormone cleaved from proglucagon in the pancreas.1,2 Mice lacking the glucagon receptor (Gcgr-/-) have approximately nine-fold higher levels of total GLP-1 amide, including GLP-1 (1-36) amide and truncated GLP-1 (7-36) amide , in pancreatic tissue compared to wild-type mice.2References1.

Certepetide (CEND-1), also known as iRGD, is a bifunctional cyclic peptide that enhances tumor penetration. By interacting with alphav-integrins through its RGD motif and activating NRP-1, it transforms the solid tumor microenvironment into a temporary conduit for therapeutic agents. This property facilitates Certepetide's accumulation in tumors, making it a valuable tool in researching pancreatic cancer and other solid tumors [1] [2] [3].

Glucagon (1-29), bovine, human, porcine hydrochloride (Porcine glucagon hydrochloride) is a peptide hormone produced by pancreatic α-cells that activates HNF4α, increases HNF4α phosphorylation, and stimulates gluconeogenesis.
