GLP-1 Fusion Proteins
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A heterologous fusion protein comprising a first polypeptide with a N-terminus and a C-terminus fused to a second polypeptide with a N-terminus and a C-terminus wherein the first polypeptide is a GLP-1 compound and the second polypeptide is selected from the group consisting of a) human albumin;
- b) human albumin analogs; and
c) fragments of human albumin, and wherein the C-terminus of the first polypeptide is fused to the N-terminus of the second polypeptide.
