Amylin in bone conservation current evidence and hypothetical Considerations.
Amylin, a 37-amino-acid long single-chain polypeptide, is structurally homologous to calcitonin and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). The peptide is secreted from pancreatic beta cells and is thought to have an anti-insulin action. Here, we review the recently described effects of amylin on ca...
