| 17 | Cloning of the proglucagon gene in the early 1980s revealed two glucagon-like sequences downstream of glucagon itself, designated glucagon-like peptide-1 and glucagon-like peptide-2. The full-length GLP-1 (1–37) proved to be biologically inert; N-terminal truncation to GLP-1 (7–37) yielded a potent insulinotropic peptide.{{r|holst1987}} Physiological activity in humans was demonstrated shortly afterwards by infusion studies showing marked, glucose-dependent insulin release.{{r|kreymann1987}} | 22 | Cloning of the proglucagon gene in the early 1980s revealed two glucagon-like sequences downstream of glucagon itself, designated glucagon-like peptide-1 and glucagon-like peptide-2.

| + | 24 | The residue numbering convention retained in the literature is that of the full-length peptide, which is why the active species is conventionally written GLP-1 (7–36) amide rather than renumbered from its own N-terminus. This is a persistent source of confusion in secondary sources, and articles on this wiki follow the conventional numbering. | |
