In order to restore basal amylin levels in mice, researchers have performed PEGylation, the addition of poly ethylene glycol, to amylin within residues 1-11 of the peptide, most likely at the two amine groups of K1<ref name="Guerreiro">PMID: 23818080</ref>. Administration of the modified amylin in mice showed evidence of reduced glycemia and prolonged action compared to endogenous amylin <ref name="Guerreiro"/>. | In order to restore basal amylin levels in mice, researchers have performed PEGylation, the addition of poly ethylene glycol, to amylin within residues 1-11 of the peptide, most likely at the two amine groups of K1<ref name="Guerreiro">PMID: 23818080</ref>.
