Oxyntomodulin is a proglucagon-derived gut hormone that reduces food intake and body weight, thus represents a potential therapy for obesity. We synthesized and crystallized oxyntomodulin. The crystal diffracts x-ray to 2.4 A resolution and belongs to space group P2(1)3 with unit-cell parameters a=b=c= 48.44 A, alpha=beta=gamma=90 degrees . Preliminary analysis indicates a trimer packing in one asymmetric unit.
