What Exendin-3 is studied for

  • Incretin (GLP-1 / GIP) receptor signaling
  • Appetite and satiety-circuit research
  • Gastric motility and emptying assays
  • Gut–brain axis and vagal signaling models

Mechanism of action

Exendin-3 sits within the GI / Gut research class (CPC reference EXED-005). Gut peptides engage GPCRs on enteroendocrine cells, vagal afferents, and central nuclei, modulating motility, secretion, satiety, and glucose-dependent insulin release. Investigators typically incorporate Exendin-3 as a reference standard, tool ligand, or substrate in the assay contexts listed above. cAMP HTRF, in vitro islet insulin secretion, and food-intake models in rodents.

Frequently asked questions

What is Exendin-3?

Exendin-3 (CPC catalog code EXED-005) is a synthetic gastrointestinal / gut-hormone peptide in the gi / gut category. It is provided as a lyophilized ~1 mg vial for in-vitro research use only.

What is Exendin-3 studied for?

Published and internal research programs use Exendin-3 as a reference standard in gi / gut workflows — for example, incretin (glp-1 / gip) receptor signaling and appetite and satiety-circuit research. Human clinical evidence is not established.

Is Exendin-3 FDA-approved for human use?

No. Exendin-3 is a research-grade reference peptide and is not approved by the FDA or any national regulator for human or veterinary therapeutic use. It is offered exclusively for in-vitro laboratory research and does not ship to the United States for consumer use.

How is Exendin-3 typically used in the lab?

In a gi / gut workflow, Exendin-3 is reconstituted in sterile buffer or DMSO (solubility-dependent) and applied in the researcher's chosen assay format. cAMP HTRF, in vitro islet insulin secretion, and food-intake models in rodents.

How should Exendin-3 be stored?

Store lyophilized at −20 °C. Reconstitute in acidified water (0.1% acetic acid) for stability. Follow your institution's standard operating procedures for handling synthetic peptides.

Where does the Exendin-3 product page point to?

This kindr reference page mirrors CPC Scientific's catalog metadata for EXED-005. The upstream reference sheet — including sequence, purity, MW, and application notes where published — is linked from the buy panel. All orders placed on kindr Peptides ship internationally under research-use terms only.

What quality specifications apply to Exendin-3?

Research-grade peptides in the CPC catalog are synthesized by solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), purified by preparative RP-HPLC, and characterized by analytical HPLC and mass spectrometry. Typical purity is ≥95%; certificate of analysis is available on request.
