Antidiabetic and hyperglycemic peptide hormones

General description The adiponectin receptors, ADIPOR1 and ADIPOR2, serve as receptors for globular and full-length adiponectin and mediate increased AMPK and PPAR-alpha ligand activities, as well as fatty acid oxidation and glucose uptake by

Immunogen Synthetic peptide directed towards the middle region of human ADRB1 Biochem/physiol Actions The adrenergic receptors (subtypes alpha 1, alpha 2, beta 1, and beta 2) are a prototypic family of guanine nucleotide binding regulatory

General description The previously assigned protein identifier A2BFI7 has been merged into Q15109. Full details can be found on the UniProt database.

Immunogen Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human ANGPTL2 Biochem/physiol Actions Angiopoietins are members of the vascular endothelial growth factor family and the only known growth factors largely specific for

General description This gene encodes a member of a family of secreted proteins that function in angiogenesis. The encoded protein, which is expressed predominantly in the liver, is further processed into an N-terminal coiled-coil

Immunogen Synthetic peptide directed towards the C terminal region of human CHGA Biochem/physiol Actions CHGA is a member of the chromogranin/secretogranin family of neuroendocrine secretory proteins. It is found in secretory vesicles of neurons

General description Forkhead box A3 (FOXA3), also known as hepatocyte nuclear factor 3 &#947: (HNF3&#947:), is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 19q13.32.

General description This gene is a nuclear protein of the AlkB related non-haem iron and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent oxygenase superfamily but the exact physiological function of this gene is not known. Other non-heme iron enzymes function to reverse

General description This gene is a member of the solute carrier family 2 (facilitated glucose transporter) family and encodes a protein that functions as an insulin-regulated facilitative glucose transporter. In the absence of insulin, this

Immunogen Synthetic peptide directed towards the middle region of human GP2 Biochem/physiol Actions GP2 is component of pancreatic secretory (zymogen) granule. Sequence Synthetic peptide located within the following region:

Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 1, mitochondrial (GPAT-1) is located on the mitochondrial outer membrane, allowing reciprocal regulation with carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1. It is thought to be critical for the development of hepatic
