Scientific Snapshot Information: DK-0014-01<br />
§� HCC is a liver cancer with a high mortality and morbidity<br />
rate. This type of cancer is mainly caused by Hepatitis B Virus<br />
(HBV) or Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection - insults that cause<br />
long-term inflammation, fibrosis and cirrhosis of the liver -<br />
and alcohol abuse.<br />
§� Mechanism of Action:<br />
Synthetically produced 36 amino acid peptide, Cterminally<br />
amidated. It acts via activating 5 different G<br />
protein-coupled receptors, which are expressed in the<br />
brain, heart, gut, liver, kidney and blood vessels. These<br />
receptors signal through the GTP binding proteins Gi/Go,<br />
inhibiting gastric acid secretion, small bowel and colonic<br />
chloride secretion, and pancreatic insulin secretion.<br />
