Glucagon like-peptide-2 (GLP-2) is a gut hormone produced in the enteroendocrine L cells of gastrointestinal tract by the cleavage of the 160-amino-acid proglucagon molecule. GLP-2 is secreted following the ingestion of food and carries out its activities via the GLP-2 G-protein coupled receptors (GLP-2Rs). GLP-2 has a range of roles within the cell, including: anti-inflammatory effects; promoting the expansion of the intestinal mucosa; stimulating intestinal blood flow; inhibiting gastric acid secretion and gastric emptying; increasing intestinal barrier function and enhancing nutrient and fluid absorption
