Function | This peptide is from amino acid 3-42 of the full length 42-amino acid long GIP (Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide or also known as Gastric Inhibitory Polypeptide). The in-vivo degradation of the first two N-terminal amino acids (Tyr-Ala) by the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV) results in making GIP (3-42) a potent antagonist as opposed to the agonist full length GIP on the GIP receptor.;;Pyroglutamyl (pGlu) peptides may spontaneously form when either Glutamine (Q) or Glutamic acid (E) is located at the sequence N-terminus. The conversion of Q or E to pGlu is a natural occurrence and in general it is believed that the hydrophobic γ-lactam ring of pGlu may play a role in peptide stability against gastrointestinal proteases. Pyroglutamyl peptides are therefore considered a normal subset of such peptides and are included as part of the peptide purity during HPLC analysis. |
