Acylated Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonist

ELISA, neutralization, functional assays such as bioanalytical PK and ADA assays, and those assays for studying biological pathways

<5% Determined by SECP

Semaglutide, a recombinant peptide which presents 94% sequence homology to the human glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), differing primarily by two amino-acid substitutions at positions 8 and 34, where alanine and lysine are replaced by 2-aminoisobutyric acid and arginine, respectively. Liraglutide is made by attaching a C-18 fatty acid (stearic diacid) with a glutamic acid spacer on the remaining lysine residue at position 26 of the peptide precursor. Semaglutide is resistant to the dipeptidylpeptidase-4 enzyme whic degrades the natural hormone. As a GLP-1 receptor agonist, Semaglutide mimics the action of the human incretin glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), thereby increasing insulin secretion and increasing blood sugar disposal and improving glycemic control. Semaglutide is an anti-diabetic medication used to treat type 2 diabetes, obesity, and chronic weight management.
