• Background: Peptide Histidine Isoleucine (PHI), is a peptide which functions as a hormone and contains a composition of 27 amino acids with histidine on the N-terminus and isoleucine on the C- terminus. It is part of family that plays a vital role in the cell growth rate such as in the intestine as well as in brain. PHI-27 was derived from glucagon family called the pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) and it has an amino acid sequence homology to vasoactive intestinal peptide, secretin, glucagon, and other growth hormone releasing factor. This peptide is present within the central nervous system that help regulate food consumption behavior, while at peripheral nervous system this peptide accumulates in the stomach which controls the digestion of food. This antibody was generated by immunization of rabbits with PHI-27 coupled to a carrier protein.
