MID-1 is an inhibitor of MG53-IRS-1 (Mitsugumin 53-Insulin Receptor Substrate-1) interaction.?It disrupts molecular association of MG53 with IRS-1 and abolishes MG53-induced IRS-1 ubiquitination and degradation in skeletal muscle, leading to elevated IRS-1 expression level and increased insulin signaling and glucose uptake.

Somatostatin-28 (sheep, human rat mouse) is a biologically active polypeptide, synthesised in the proximal intestinal epithelial cells. Somatostatin-28 (sheep, human rat mouse) suppresses glucose-stimulated insulin secretion without affecting circulating basal insulin concentration. Somatostatin-28 (sheep, human rat mouse) also targets to somatostatin receptor subtype 5 (SSTR5) to regulate GLP-1 secretion.

ACTH (11-24) is a fragment of adrenocorticotrophin, induces cortisol release. ACTH (11-24) has been identified as a competitive antagonist of ACTH (1-39) and ACTH (1-10) in isolated adrenal cells.
