Dulaglutide

Dulaglutide is a long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonist consisting of a modified GLP-1 analog covalently linked to a modified human IgG4 Fc fragment via a small peptide linker. This fusion protein design provides a half-life of approximately 5 days, enabling once-weekly administration for diabetes and metabolic research.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dulaglutide

Dulaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist designed as an Fc fusion protein, combining a modified GLP-1 peptide with a human IgG4 Fc fragment for extended half-life.

The IgG4 Fc fragment enables FcRn-mediated recycling, extending the circulating half-life to approximately 5 days and allowing once-weekly dosing.

Our Dulaglutide is supplied at ≥95% purity with comprehensive quality documentation.

Store at -20°C in lyophilized form. Reconstituted solutions should be refrigerated at 2-8°C and used within the validated timeframe.

Dulaglutide is studied in diabetes research, cardiovascular outcomes, weight management, Fc fusion protein engineering, and GLP-1 receptor pharmacology.
