Exendin 3 (9-39) amide – Hormones Originally identified in Heloderma horridum horridum (Mexican beaded lizard), exendin-3 shares homology with vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), secretin, helospectin I and II and helodermin. Exendin-3 increases cellular cAMP...

GLP-1 (9-36) amide

GLP-1 (9-36) amide – Hormones Natural cleavage product of GLP-1 which, unlike GLP-1, does not affect either insulin secretion or glucose homeostasis.  GLP-1(9-36) has low affinity for, and acts as an antagonist to, the GLP-1 receptor. GLP-1 (9-36) does however...
