(D-Ala2)-Gastric Inhibitory Polypeptide (human) trifluoroacetate salt

[D-Ala2]-GIP (human) is a GIP receptor agonist. [D-Ala2]-GIP (human) improves glucose tolerance. [D-Ala2]-GIP (human) shows neuroprotective activity in MPTP-induced Parkinson's disease model. [D-Ala2]-GIP (human) also improves cognitive function and hippocampal synaptic plasticity in obese diabetic rats. [D-Ala2]-GIP (human) can be used for research of type 2 diabetes, Parkinson's disease, etc[1]
