High affinity ratGIP receptor partial agonist (Kd = 13 nM). Increases cAMP accumulation in COS-7 cells transfected with ratGIP receptor, while also acting as a competitive antagonist of GIP.
This GIP fragment has potent insulinotropic activity in the isolated, perfused rat pancreas but greatly reduced somatostatinotropic activity in the isolated perfused rat stomach. The site responsible for insulinotropic activity apparently lies between residues 19 and 30 of GIP.
Endogenous truncated form of the incretin hormone GIP. More potent at stimulating glucose-dependent insulin secretion from rat pancreatic β-cells than GIP.
