glucagon like peptide 1 (glp 1)

How is GLP-1 degraded?

GLP-1 is rapidly degraded by the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4), which cleaves the peptide and renders it inactive. This short half-life necessitates the use of DPP-4 inhibitors or GLP-1 analogs with longer activity for therapeutic purposes.
