OXM a 37 amino acid peptide which contains the glucagon sequence extended by a C-terminal basic octapeptide, its primary structure is identical in all mammals except in pig and cattle. OXM is released from the gut during digestion, together with glicentin another octapeptide containing molecule. It is considered as a putative physiological regulator of gastric acid secretion, it inhibits histamine.
Oxyntomodulin Porcine Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 37 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 4420.86 Dalton.
The OXM is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
