Amylin (8-37) is a peptide fragment of amylin (Item Nos. 24274 | 24275).1 It inhibits osteoblast proliferation, but not bone resorption, induced by full-length human amylin and does not act as an agonist at amylin receptors. Amylin (8-37) induces formation of polymorphic fibrils containing coiled and laterally-associated sheet structures.2 It is cytotoxic to RINm5F islet β-cells in vitro when used at a concentration of 25 µM, an effect that is inversely correlated with mature fibril content.3
