Lyophilized powderSemaglutide
Semaglutide (GLP-1 receptor agonist)
Semaglutide is a 31-amino-acid GLP-1 analog structurally modified at position 8 (Aib substitution) to resist DPP-4 degradation, with a C18 fatty diacid chain conjugated via a spacer at Lys26 that promotes albumin binding. These modifications extend its half-life substantially relative to native GLP-1, which has a circulating half-life measured in minutes. It is among the most heavily published peptides in modern metabolic research.
Research applications
- Incretin receptor signaling and β-cell response studies
- Gastric emptying and satiety-pathway research in rodent models
- Comparative pharmacokinetics against dual and triple agonists
- Receptor binding affinity and selectivity assays
Storage
Store lyophilized powder at -20°C protected from light. Reconstituted solution is stable at 2-8°C for up to 30 days.
Reconstitution
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water directed slowly down the vial wall. Do not shake — agitation causes peptide denaturation. Swirl gently until fully dissolved.
