Exendin-4 is a member of the glucagon secretin family of peptide hormones and neuropeptides. The venom protein mimics the incretin hormone glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and stimulates insulin synthesis and secretion, protects against beta-cell apoptosis in response to different insults, and promotes beta-cell proliferation. Exendin-4 also promotes satiety, reduces food intake, fat deposition and body weight. It also is known to inhibit gastric emptying. Exendin-4 interactions with GLP-1 receptor (GLP1R). induces hypotension that is mediated by relaxation of cardiac smooth muscle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions-+4°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions-+4°C, Storage information-+4°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nExendin-4 also known as \"exendine 4\" or \"exendin e 4\" is a peptide with significant activity in glucose metabolism. The peptide originated from the saliva of the Gila monster Heloderma suspectum and has a molecular mass of approximately 4.2 kDa. It is expressed mainly in the pancreas but also found in other tissues. Exendin-4 acts as a potent agonist of the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor which is expressed in various parts of the body such as the brain and gastrointestinal tract.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nExendin-4 enhances insulin secretion helping to regulate blood glucose levels effectively. It mimics the activity of GLP-1 which is involved in stimulating insulin release. Exendin-4 also slows gastric emptying and promotes satiety contributing to reduced food intake. Although the peptide does not form part of a larger complex its interactions directly affect multiple cellular processes relevant to metabolism.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nExendin-4 participates in the insulin signaling and glucose homeostasis pathways. It influences insulin receptor substrate proteins thereby playing an important role in maintaining normal blood sugar levels. Exendin-4 modulates the activity of gluconeogenic enzymes connecting it to metabolic pathways involving energy balance and storage.\u003cbr\u003e\nExendin-4 shows relevance in treating type 2 diabetes and obesity. By enhancing insulin secretion and reducing appetite it provides therapeutic effects for individuals with diabetes. It shares functional characteristics with proteins like GLP-1 and insulin which are implicated in these metabolic disorders. Research continues to explore its potential benefits and application in managing these conditions more effectively.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855609286825,"sku":"ab272192","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab272192","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
