Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist with 94% structural homology to native GLP-1. It features an acylated side chain enabling albumin binding for extended half-life (~7 days). Approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management, it represents one of the most impactful peptide therapeutics in modern medicine.

Frequently Asked Questions About Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonist peptide with a modified structure enabling once-weekly dosing, used in research on diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease.

Semaglutide activates GLP-1 receptors to enhance glucose-dependent insulin secretion, suppress glucagon release, slow gastric emptying, and reduce appetite through central nervous system signaling.

Our wholesale Semaglutide is ≥98% pure with full analytical documentation including HPLC, MS, and amino acid analysis.

Lyophilized Semaglutide should be stored at -20°C. Reconstituted solutions should be refrigerated at 2-8°C.

Semaglutide features superior albumin binding via its C-18 fatty diacid modification, providing the longest half-life among GLP-1 agonists (~7 days) and enhanced clinical efficacy.
