Amylin (IAPP), feline TFA（Cat No.:I044307）is a synthetic version of islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) derived from cats. Amylin is a 37-amino acid hormone co-secreted with insulin by pancreatic β-cells and plays a role in glucose regulation by inhibiting gastric emptying, suppressing glucagon secretion, and promoting satiety. In felines, as in humans, IAPP can aggregate into amyloid fibrils, contributing to islet dysfunction in type 2 diabetes. The TFA (trifluoroacetate) form indicates the peptide is purified as a trifluoroacetate salt, enhancing solubility and stability for research. It’s commonly used in diabetes and amyloidosis studies.
