GLP-2 (1-34) (human),Catalog Number: KS061029,CAS NO.: 99120-49-7
GLP-2 (Glucagon-like peptide-2) induces the expansion of the mucosal epithelium in the small intestine by stimulating crypt cell proliferation while inhibiting apoptosis. This expansion leads to an increase in nutrient absorption while simultaneously reducing epithelial permeability and decreasing meal-stimulated gastric acid secretion and gastrointestinal motility. GLP-2 achieves these effects by activating the GLP-2 receptor, which is a member of the glucagon-secretin G protein-coupled receptor superfamily.
