WP5446 - GLP-1 secretion from intestine to portal vein - Homo sapiens

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a short protein that suppresses feeding and helps manage glucose levels in diabetes. It is encoded by the GCG gene. This pathway depicts factors in GLP-1 secretion from L cells in the intestine into the portal vein, the primary entry port of digestion products into circulation.
