Albumin-binding tag derived Exendin-4 analogue for treating hyperglycemia and diabetic complications

Current study was conducted to design and screen a long-lasting Exendin-4 analog for treating type 2 diabetes via the novel strategy of albumin binding combined with thrombin enzymolysis. Firstly, a series of fusion peptides, containing different albumin-binding tags, a determinate thrombin-cleavabl...
