Cagri

Amylin Receptor Studies

Cagri is a long-acting analogue of amylin, a peptide hormone released alongside insulin from pancreatic beta cells. It activates amylin receptors and the related calcitonin receptor. Research has measured satiety signalling, food intake and gastric emptying. A fatty acid chain lets it bind albumin, which extends its half-life to about a week.

How it works

  1. AMY

    Amylin Receptor Agonism

    Binds amylin receptors (calcitonin receptor paired with RAMP1-3). Published characterisation describes satiety signalling, slowed gastric emptying and suppression of post-meal glucagon in study models.

    • Satiety signalling measured
    • Gastric emptying measured
    • Post-meal glucagon measured
  2. CTR

    Calcitonin Receptor Co-Activation

    Also activates the calcitonin receptor directly, a non-selective profile examined alongside its amylin receptor activity. Hindbrain regions such as the area postrema are the main sites studied.

    • Calcitonin receptor agonism
    • Hindbrain (area postrema) signalling
    • Food intake measured
  3. PK

    Extended Half-Life Design

    Structural changes reduce the fibrillation seen with native amylin, and a fatty-acid chain confers reversible albumin binding, extending the plasma half-life to roughly one week in research models.

    • ~7-day half-life
    • Albumin-binding modification
    • Reduced fibrillation vs native amylin

What the research shows

  1. Metabolic

    Amylin Receptor Research

    Amylin signalling is a growing focus of metabolic research, and Cagri is a long-acting amylin analogue used as a reference compound in that work.

  2. Combination

    Amylin + GLP-1 Research

    Because amylin and GLP-1 act through different receptors, Cagri is studied alongside GLP-1 receptor agonists such as GLP-1 S in combination research.

  3. Endocrine

    Glycemic Pathway Research

    Amylin's effects on post-meal glucagon and gastric emptying make Cagri a subject of glycemic pathway research.

  4. Neuroscience

    Hindbrain Satiety Circuitry

    Amylin receptors in the area postrema and connected hindbrain circuits modulate satiety, a focus of ongoing neuroscience research.

Frequently asked questions

What is Cagri?

Cagri is a long-acting analogue of the pancreatic hormone amylin. It activates amylin receptors and the calcitonin receptor; published characterisation describes satiety signalling, slowed gastric emptying and suppression of post-meal glucagon.

How does it differ from GLP-1 S, GLP-2 TZ and GLP-3 RT?

The GLP compounds act on incretin receptors (GLP-1, GIP, glucagon). Cagri acts on a different system entirely: amylin and calcitonin receptors. That is why it is studied alongside GLP-1 receptor agonists in combination research.

What is the molecular weight and purity?

Cagri has a molecular weight of 4,409 g/mol. Every vial is supplied at ≥99% purity, verified by HPLC, with a Certificate of Analysis included.

How should it be stored?

Store lyophilized vials at -20°C for long-term stability, protected from light and moisture.

Is this product for human use?

No. Cagri is sold strictly as a research compound for laboratory and in-vitro use only. It is not intended for human or animal consumption, diagnosis, or treatment.

For laboratory research use only. Not a drug, supplement, or medical product; not for human or animal use. All findings referenced are from published preclinical/laboratory research.
