Glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2, Preproglucagon (126-158)) is a 33 amino acid peptide which is formed by specific post-translational proteolytic cleavage of proglucagon in a process that also liberates the related glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). GLP-2 is produced in gut endocrine cells and certain neuronal cells in the central nervous system. Administration of GLP-2 demos demonstrates cytoprotective and reparative effects in rodent models of intestinal injury. An analog of Glucagon-like peptide-2, Teduglutide, is used as a treatment for short-bowel syndrome by increasing nutrient absorption.
