GLP-2
GLP-2 is an intestinal growth factor peptide studied for its trophic effects on the GI mucosa, nutrient absorption, and gut barrier function in research models.
Select size
lyophilized$150.00/ 30mg
For laboratory and research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.
Mechanism of Action
GLP-2 acts via the GLP-2 receptor (GLP2R) expressed on intestinal enteroendocrine cells, promoting crypt cell proliferation, reducing apoptosis, and enhancing barrier integrity in preclinical models.
Research Applications
- Intestinal mucosal growth assays
- Gut barrier permeability research
- Short bowel syndrome model studies
- Nutrient absorption pathway research
