Description

Cagrilintide 20mg peptide research material is supplied for laboratory and non-clinical investigation of cagrilintide, a long-acting acylated amylin analogue studied in metabolic and energy-homeostasis research models.

What Is Cagrilintide

Cagrilintide is a synthetic analogue of amylin, a peptide hormone co-secreted with insulin. It has been engineered with a fatty-acid side chain that extends its half-life in research systems and acts as a non-selective agonist at amylin and calcitonin receptors. Cagrilintide 20mg peptide research material is used by laboratories investigating amylin receptor signaling, satiety pathways and its combination with GLP-1 receptor agonists in in vitro and animal-model research systems.

Research Applications (laboratory / non-clinical research only)

• In vitro studies of amylin (AMY1-3) and calcitonin receptor signaling
• Animal model research into energy homeostasis and food-intake regulation pathways
• Preclinical investigation of combined amylin and GLP-1 receptor agonism
• Comparative research alongside semaglutide, tirzepatide and retatrutide in metabolic models
• Laboratory studies of gastric emptying and glucagon-related signaling

Quality & Sourcing

Cagrilintide peptide research material is manufactured to high purity standards and verified by HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) analysis. Each batch is lyophilized for stability, and a Certificate of Analysis (COA) is available on request confirming peptide identity and purity. Material is intended for use by qualified researchers in controlled laboratory environments only.

Supplied As

Supplied as a lyophilized 20mg vial, suitable for standard laboratory reconstitution procedures performed by trained personnel for research purposes.

Molecular Characteristics

Cagrilintide is a lipidated amylin-analogue peptide with a molecular weight of approximately 4.4 kDa. Its acylation promotes albumin binding, which is the basis of its extended activity in research models. It is supplied as a lyophilized powder to preserve stability during storage.

Handling & Storage Considerations

Lyophilized cagrilintide should be stored in a freezer (-20°C or below), protected from light and moisture, until it is required for a laboratory protocol. Once reconstituted for research use, material should be kept refrigerated (2-8°C) and used within the timeframe defined by the laboratory’s own stability testing. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Common Research Design Considerations

Laboratories investigating cagrilintide frequently study it both alone and in combination with GLP-1 receptor agonists, using vehicle controls to separate amylin-receptor effects from incretin-pathway effects.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is cagrilintide different from GLP-1 compounds?
Cagrilintide acts on amylin and calcitonin receptors rather than the GLP-1 receptor, which is why it is often studied alongside GLP-1 compounds in research models.

Is a COA available?
Yes, a Certificate of Analysis is available on request for each batch, confirming identity and purity.
