Function of Linaclotide
Linaclotide can bind to the guanylate cyclase C-type receptor (GC-C) in the intestinal tract after being taken orally into the human body to increase the intracellular and extracellular cyclic guanylic acid (cGMP) concentration and stimulate the secretion of intestinal juice , To accelerate the migration of the gastrointestinal tract, thereby increasing the frequency of bowel movements. Due to its unique mechanism of action, it is promising to become a therapeutic drug that can not only treat constipation, but also treat abdominal distension, abdominal pain and other clinical symptoms.
