NESFATIN-1 AND NESFATIN-1-LIKE PEPTIDE: NUCLEOBINDIN-1/2-ENCODED INSULINOTROPIC AND ENTEROTROPIC PEPTIDES

Nucleobindins are a class of secreted, multi-domain Ca2+ binding proteins that interact with nucleic acids. Two nucleobindins, nucleobindin-1 (NUCB1) and nucleobindin-2 (NUCB2) have been identified so far. In 2006, nesfatin-1, an 82 amino acid peptide encoded in NUCB2 was discovered. Nesfatin-1 is a...
