Y-Aib-QGTFTSDYSI-αMeLeu-LDK-K(lipid)AQ-Aib-AFIEYLLEGGPSSGAPPPS-NH2
Tyr-Aib-Gln-Gly-Thr-Phe-Thr-Ser-Asp-Tyr-Ser-Ile-αMeLeu-Leu-Asp-Lys-Lys(lipid)-Ala-Gln-Aib-Ala-Phe-Ile-Glu-Tyr-Leu-Leu-Glu-Gly-Gly-Pro-Ser-Ser-Gly-Ala-Pro-Pro-Pro-Ser-NH2
- Positions 2 and 20 are Aib (2-aminoisobutyric acid), not alanine.
- Position 13 is alpha-methyl-L-leucine (αMeLeu), not leucine.
- Lysine 17 is lipidated: its N6 side chain carries a C20 fatty diacid linked through gamma-glutamate and an AEEA spacer.
- The C-terminus is a serine amide (Ser-NH2), not a free acid.
