Research applications
Semaglutide is a long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonist with 94% sequence homology to native human GLP-1, stabilized by an Aib substitution at position 8 and a C18 fatty-acid chain enabling strong albumin binding. It is widely used as a reference standard in GLP-1 receptor binding assays, insulinotropic research, appetite and food-intake studies, and formulation-stability testing. This lyophilized research peptide is sequence-verified and supplied with HPLC purity documentation.
