Amylin rabbit polyclonal, anti-human, mouse, rat

Backgroud: islet amyloid polypeptide(IAPP) Homo sapiens This gene encodes a member of the calcitonin family of peptide hormones. This hormone is released from pancreatic beta cells following food intake to regulate blood glucose levels and act as a satiation signal. Human patients with type 1 and advanced type 2 diabetes exhibit reduced levels of the encoded hormone in blood and pancreas. This protein also exhibits a bactericidal, antimicrobial activity. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016],disease:IAPP is the peptide subunit of amyloid found in pancreatic islets of type 2 diabetic patients and in insulinomas.,function:Selectively inhibits insulin-stimulated glucose utilization and glycogen deposition in muscle, while not affecting adipocyte glucose metabolism.,online information:Amylin entry,similarity:Belongs to the calcitonin family.,
