Glucagon-likepeptide 1 (1-37), human, is a highly potent agonist of the GLP-1 receptor and a pancreatic hormone synthesized through post-translational processing of proglucagon. Unlike truncated forms of GLP-1, it has no effect on food intake in rats.
Glucagon-likepeptide 1 (1-37), human (TFA), is a highly potent agonist of the GLP-1 receptor and is a pancreatic hormone synthesized through post-translational processing of proglucagon.
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.

PACAP-related peptide (PRP) is an endogenous 29-amino acid peptide that belongs to the secretin/glucagon superfamily of peptides, which includes secretin , glucagon , glucagon-likepeptide-1 , GLP-2 , and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide . It is expressed in normal human pancreas and adrenal gland tissue and in some tumors that produce vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). PRP (1-29) is secreted by CHO-K1 cells that express human recombinant preproPACAP.
5(S)-HEPE, an active metabolite of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), is produced via the action of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO). This compound functions as an agonist for G protein-coupled receptor 119 (GPR119), promoting cAMP accumulation in CHO-K1 cells expressing human GPR119 at 10 µM concentration. Additionally, 5(S)-HEPE enhances glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from MING6 insulinoma pancreatic islets and glucagon-likepeptide 1 (GLP-1) secretion from HuTu 80 adenocarcinoma cells at the same concentration. Notably, serum levels of 5(S)-HEPE are increased in hyperlipidemia patients.
