Amylin Polyclonal Antibody

Ab type

Primary antibody

Background

IAPP encodes a member of the calcitonin family of peptide hormones. This hormone (islet amyloid polypeptide) is released from pancreatic beta cells following food intake to regulate blood glucose levels and act as a satiation signal. Human patients with type 1 and advanced type 2 diabetes exhibit reduced levels of the encoded hormone in blood and pancreas. This protein also exhibits a bactericidal, antimicrobial activity.
