| Function | Amylin/IAPP is a glucoregulatory peptide hormone that plays an important role in the regulation of energy homeostasis. Selectively inhibits insulin-stimulated glucose utilization and glycogen deposition in muscle, while not affecting adipocyte glucose metabolism. IAPP function is mediated by the CALCR-RAMPs (AMYRs) receptor complexes. Amylin can also bind CALCR receptor in the absence of RAMPs, although it is more selective for AMYRs. |
