Research overview

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist peptide with two amino acid changes from human GLP-1, aminoisobutyric acid at position 8 and arginine at position 34, and a C18 fatty-diacid side chain at lysine 26 that binds serum albumin. These changes protect it from the enzyme DPP-4 and slow its clearance.

Developed at Novo Nordisk, it is one of the best-characterised incretin-based molecules and a standard reference compound in GLP-1 receptor research, often used as the comparator for newer dual and triple agonists. Because it binds albumin strongly, serum in culture media shifts its apparent potency. See tirzepatide vs semaglutide for the published head-to-head trials.

Questions

Why does semaglutide last so long?

Its fatty-acid side chain binds serum albumin and its position 8 change protects it from DPP-4, so it is cleared slowly.

Is semaglutide available in a blend?

Yes, with the amylin analogue in the cagrilintide + semaglutide blend.

What's in the vial?

Semaglutide at the strength you choose. No diluent or accessories are included.

Can I check the lab report for my vial?

Yes. The batch number on your vial matches a report on this page or in our lab report library, with a link to verify it on the lab's website where available.

Is this product for human use?

No. It's sold for laboratory research use only and isn't for human or veterinary use.
