Cagrilintide is a synthetic analog of amylin, a naturally occurring peptide hormone co-secreted with insulin from pancreatic beta cells. This research-grade peptide is designed for in vitro and laboratory research applications only, providing researchers with a high-purity compound for metabolic and endocrine studies.
As a dual agonist targeting both amylin and calcitonin receptors, Cagrilintide offers unique research opportunities for investigating complex metabolic signaling pathways. Its enhanced stability profile and extended half-life make it particularly valuable for long-term research protocols and mechanistic studies examining hormone-receptor interactions.
