Helospectin I

*This product has been discontinued!*
The helospectins are peptides structurally related to helodermin, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), peptide histidine isoleucine (PHI) and secretin, which all potently stimulate glucagon secretion in the mouse. Helospectin I potently increased plasma levels of glucagon after its intravenous injection in mice. helospectin I markedly stimulates glucagon secretion in the mouse whereas the peptide has no direct action on insulin secretion. This pattern of effect of helospectin I is similar to that previously reported for helodermin, VIP, PHI and secretin in the mouse, i.e., for all peptides belonging to this superfamily of peptides.
