V-9-M cholecystokinin nonapeptide

Description

V-9-M Cholecystokinin nonapeptide is a glucagon-like peptide receptor agonist, namely GLP-1 receptor agonist. Human GLP-1 is a peptide hormone secreted by intestinal L cells.

The Uses of V-9-M cholecystokinin nonapeptide

V-9-M cholecystokinin nonapeptide belongs to the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 receptor agonist) class of hypoglycemic drugs, which increase insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner and inhibit glucagon secretion , and can promote gastric emptying, centrally suppress appetite, reduce food intake, and then reduce glucose absorption to achieve the effect of lowering blood sugar.

General Description

V-9-M cholecystokinin nonapeptide, also known as Cholecystokinin Precursor (24-32) (rat), is a precursor compound of cholecystokinin (CCK) that is expressed in the heart, lungs, and kidneys as well as in the gastrointestinal tract and brain. Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a brain-gut peptide that stimulates gallbladder contraction and pancreatic exocrine secretion, as well as a neurotransmitter. It can be extracted from the small intestine of dogs and cats and causes gallbladder contractions.

Mechanism of action

V-9-M cholecystokinin nonapeptide's mechanism of action is to act on islet beta cells, promote the synthesis and secretion of insulin, stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of islet beta cells, inhibit the apoptosis of islet beta cells, increase the number of islet beta cells, and protect islet function. It can also act on islet alpha cells, inhibit the release of glucagon, and reduce the release of hepatic glucose.
