Peptide record

Exenatide

Function

Exenatide is a Metabolic peptide.

This Peptide is used for type 2 diabetes treatment to improve glycemic control and modestly reduce body weight through GLP-1–like insulinotropic and glucagonostatic effects6768

Mechanism

Exenatide is a 39-amino-acid exendin-4 peptide originally isolated from Gila monster venom that acts as a long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonist resistant to DPP-4 degradation67

Exenatide is a Receptor agonist.

Receptor

GLP-1 receptor (GLP1R) 6780

Sequence note

Exendin-4 is a 39-amino-acid peptide incretin mimetic; the full sequence is well characterized but often referenced simply as exendin-4 (39 aa GLP-1R agonist) 67

Length

39 amino acids

Organism or Origin

Originally from Heloderma suspectum (Gila monster) venom; now produced synthetically67

Gene

Not assigned in the current dataset.
