Bioactivity | GIP (3-42), human acts as a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor antagonist, moderating the insulin secreting and metabolic actions of GIP in vivo[1]. | ||||||
Invitro | The incretin hormone GIP is rapidly degraded in the circulation by dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV) forming the N-terminally truncated peptide GIP(3-42)[1]. | ||||||
