Amylin is a 37aa peptide produced in the pancreatic beta-cell secretory granules and is co-released with insulin. Amylin also has CGRP-like effects on bone metabolism. Amylin has specific binding sites in the CNS and it may regulate gastric emptying and influence carbohydrate metabolism. The calcitonin family peptides probably act through G-protein coupled membrane receptors.||Applications:|Suitable for use in ELISA.
