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.
Glucagon is a peptide hormone, produced by pancreatic α-cells. Glucagon reduces the activity of HNF-4. Glucagon stimulates gluconeogenesis. Glucagon enhances HNF4α phosphorylation.
Galanin (2-11) amide is a synthetic peptide fragment of the neuropeptide galanin and an agonist of the galanin-2 (GAL2) receptor (EC50= 9.32 nM in a fluorescence imaging plate reader assay).1It selectively binds to the GAL2receptor (IC50= 1.76 nM for the rat receptor) over the GAL1receptor (IC50= 879 nM for the human receptor) but does also bind to the GAL3receptor (Ki= 271 nM for the rat receptor).1,2Intracerebroventricular administration of galanin (2-11) amide (1 nmol/animal) decreases immobility in the forced swim test in rats.3It also reduces the hind paw mechanical pain threshold and increases the hind paw cold sensitivity threshold in rats.1
Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (1-28), human, porcine, Biotin-labeled, is one of three mammalian natriuretic peptides (NPs) that exerts endocrine effects on fluid homeostasis and blood pressure. Atrial Natriuretic Peptide holds promise for cardiovascular diseases research.
Mammalian bombesin-like peptide neurotransmitter that is an agonist for the gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR). GRP has been reported to activate GABAergic interneurons in the amygdala leading to increased GABA release and fear suppression in mice
VIP(6-28)(human, rat, porcine, bovine) is a potent antagonist that effectively counteracts the effects of exogenous vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) on cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling.
GIP (1-30) amide, porcine TFA is a high-affinity full agonist of the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor, having a similar potency as the native GIP(1-42) [1]. Furthermore, GIP (1-30) amide, porcine displays weak inhibitory effects on gastric acid secretion while exhibiting potent insulin-stimulating properties.
Proinsulin C-Peptide (31-63), porcine, is a peptide derived from the cleavage of porcine proinsulin, specifically spanning the 31st to 63rd amino acid residues.
Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide (PACAP) (6-27) is a PACAP receptor antagonist with IC50 values of 1,500, 600, and 300 nM, respectively, for rat PAC1, rat VPAC1, and human VPAC2 recombinant receptors expressed in CHO cells. It binds to PACAP receptors on SH-SY5Y and SK-N-MC human neuroblastoma and T47D human breast cancer cells (IC50s = 24.5, 106, and 105 nM, respectively) and inhibits cAMP accumulation induced by PACAP (1-38) (Kis = 457, 102, and 283 nM, respectively, in SH-SY5Y, SK-N-MC, and T47D cells). In vivo, in newborn pigs, PACAP (6-27) (10 μM) inhibits vasodilation of pial arterioles induced by PACAP (1-27) and PACAP (1-38) . It also inhibits PACAP (1-27)-stimulated increases in plasma insulin and glucagon levels and pancreatic venous blood flow in dogs when administered locally to the pancreas at a dose of 500 μg.
Porcine dynorphin A (1-13) is a potent, endogenous κ-opioid receptor agonist that exhibits antinociceptive effects at physiological concentrations. Exposure to dynorphin A (1-13) causes acute increases in [Ca2+]i in individual neurons, similar to increases observed with acute exposure to other agents.

Secretin, porcine (Porcine secretin acetate), is a 27-amino acid peptide that acts on pancreatic acinar cells and ductal epithelial cells to stimulate the production of bicarbonate-rich fluid, thereby enhancing pancreatic and gastric secretions.
