Application

Exendin Fragment 9-39 has been used to study its effect on basal microvascular permeability.

Biochem/physiol Actions

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor antagonist. Competitive inhibitor of exendin-3 and exendin-4.

General description

Exendin Fragment 9-39 is an antagonist of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor, and also acts as an inhibitor of glucosedependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)-receptor binding. It also prevents the production of cAMP by GIP. GLP-1, along with GIP, acts as a physiological incretin.
