PHM-27 (human)

PHM-27 (human) is a human prepro-vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (27 amino acid). PHM-27 (human) is a potent the human calcitonin receptor agonist with an EC50 of 11 nM. PHM-27 (human) efficiently enhances glucose-induced insulin secretion from beta cells by an autocrine mechanism[1][2][3].
