Bioactivity | Amylin (20-29) (human) is the fragment of human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP) or Amylin. Amylin is a 37-residue hormone. Amylin (20-29) (human) is responsible for the amyloidogenic propensities of the full length protein. Amylin (20-29) (human) can be transformed into its corresponding peptoid and retropeptoid sequences, to obtain beta-sheet breaker peptides as amyloid inhibitors[1][2]. |
