MeSH Heading: Glucagon-Like Peptide 1
Tree Number(s): D06.472.317.680.500.500
Unique ID: D052216
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D052216
Scope Note: A peptide of 36 or 37 amino acids that is derived from PROGLUCAGON and mainly produced by the INTESTINAL L CELLS. GLP-1(1-37 or 1-36) is further N-terminally truncated resulting in GLP-1(7-37) or GLP-1-(7-36) which can be amidated. These GLP-1 peptides are known to enhance glucose-dependent INSULIN release, suppress GLUCAGON release and gastric emptying, lower BLOOD GLUCOSE, and reduce food intake.
