General description

Glucagon-Like Peptide I (GLP1) is an incretin hormone, which functions as ligand for GLP1 receptors (GLP1R). These receptors are expressed in renal and cardiovascular system, such as smooth muscle and endothelial cells.

Application

Glucagon-Like Peptide I (GLP1) has been used as an antigen in excess amounts for the incubation of primary antibodies, post-immunocytochemistry with positive results of paraffin-embedded pancreatic tissues of Rana temporaria.
Glucagon-Like Peptide I human has been used as a component of CMRL1066 medium for culturing human pancreatic non-endocrine cells. It has also been used for preabsoption of antibodies prior to immunoassay

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glucagon-Like Peptide I (GLP1) controls the metabolism of glucose, by inducing the secretion of insulin and suppressing that of glucagon. Studies in Indonesian population show that reduced levels of this protein are linked with increased susceptibility to type 2 diabetes mellitus. Plasma levels of this hormone also show significant association with systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels.

S Sarkar et al.
General and comparative endocrinology, 121(1), 23-31 (2001-02-13)
The organization of glucagon-like immunoreactivity (GLI) in the olfactory system, forebrain, and pituitary was investigated in the teleost Clarias batrachus. Weak to moderate GLI was seen in some olfactory receptor neurons and basal cells of the olfactory epithelium. Intense GLI

General and comparative endocrinology, 117(3), 366-380 (2000-04-15)
To characterize the endocrine cell types of the pancreas of Rana temporaria, conventional staining, silver impregnation, and immunocytochemical methods for light and electron microscopy have been applied to paraffin, thin and semithin sections, many of them serial pairs. Quantitative data

Hypertension (Dallas, Tex. : 1979), 65(2), 306-312 (2014-12-03)
Hypertension and diabetes mellitus are highly correlated, but the underlying mechanisms are only partly understood. Therefore, the aim of our study was to investigate the relationships between plasma levels of glucagon-like peptide-1, a key factor in the regulation of glucose
M Zhao et al.
Diabetologia, 48(10), 2051-2061 (2005-09-01)
The aim of the study was to investigate the potential of human pancreatic non-endocrine cells to transdifferentiate into endocrine cells that would be capable of secreting insulin in response to glucose and ameliorating insulin-deficient diabetes after transplantation. Cell fractions enriched
