Exendin(9-39) amide
Based on 40 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Exendin(9-39) amide (Avexitide) is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) antagonist that competes with endogenous GLP-1 for binding to GLP-1 receptors, thereby antagonizing the effects of excess GLP-1 secretion. Exendin(9-39) amide can be used to study postoperative hypoglycemia (PBH).
