6.2 Systemic exendin-4 and GLP-1 delivery using CPPs through the nasal route Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), an endogenous 30-amino acid peptide hormone that is mainly produced by intestinal L-cells in response to ingestion of nutrients, plays a role in the regulation of glucose homeostasis (Runge et al., 2007)
Researchers are particularly interested in its binding affinity across the amylin receptor complex, which is composed of the calcitonin receptor in combination with receptor activity-modifying proteins (RAMPs)
