Description

Cagrilintide is a long-acting synthetic analogue of the pancreatic hormone amylin, consisting of a modified 37 amino acid sequence designed for extended half-life through fatty acid conjugation. Research has focused on its role in appetite regulation, gastric emptying, and glucagon suppression pathways. It is increasingly studied in combination with semaglutide, a pairing referred to as CagriSema, representing a dual amylin and GLP-1 receptor agonist approach to metabolic research. It is supplied in lyophilised form for research purposes.
