Investigation of metabolism of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) by dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DP IV)
The incretins glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GTP1-42) and truncated forms of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-I7-36 and GLP-I7.37) are hormones released from the gut in response to ingested nutrients and act on the endocrine pancreas to potentiate glucose-induced insulin secretion.
