GLP-1 S

GLP-1 Receptor Studies

GLP-1 S is a selective GLP-1 receptor agonist peptide. Its sequence is about 94 percent identical to the endogenous GLP-1 hormone, with one change that resists enzymatic cleavage. Research has measured insulin release, appetite signalling and gastric emptying. A fatty acid chain lets it bind albumin, which extends its half-life.

The sequence

GLP-1 S is published as a 31-residue sequence. It is set below in reading order, ten residues to a row, numbered from the N-terminus. 2 positions are not standard L-residues and are named beneath the grid.

How it works

  1. GLP-1R

    GLP-1 Receptor Agonism

    Selectively binds GLP-1 receptors. Published characterisation describes glucose-dependent insulin secretion, glucagon suppression and delayed gastric emptying in study models. Insulin response scales with glucose, a property examined relative to non-incretin secretagogues.

    • Glucose-dependent insulin secretion
    • Glucagon suppression
    • Delayed gastric emptying
  2. CNS

    Central GLP-1R Signalling

    Engages GLP-1 receptors in the hypothalamus and hindbrain, with hunger, satiety and energy intake as the measured endpoints.

    • Food intake measured
    • Satiety signalling measured
    • Lower caloric intake
  3. PK

    Extended Half-Life Design

    A C18 fatty-diacid chain confers reversible albumin binding and resistance to DPP-4 degradation, extending the plasma half-life to roughly 7 days in research models.

    • ~165-hour half-life
    • Albumin-binding modification
    • DPP-4 resistant

What the research shows

  1. Metabolic

    Metabolic Receptor Research

    GLP-1 receptor agonism is a principal focus of metabolic research, and GLP-1 S is a selective agonist used as a reference compound in that work.

  2. Endocrine

    Glycemic Pathway Research

    GLP-1 S is studied for glucose-dependent insulin secretion and glycemic endpoints in metabolic research.

  3. Cardiometabolic

    Cardiovascular Outcomes

    Cardiometabolic signalling is a further area of research interest for this receptor class, beyond glucose handling.

  4. Neuroscience

    Hypothalamic & Reward Circuitry

    GLP-1 receptor signaling in the hypothalamus and hindbrain modulates satiety and food-reward pathways, a focus of ongoing neuroscience research.

Frequently asked questions

What is GLP-1 S?

GLP-1 S is a long-acting and selective GLP-1 receptor agonist. It mimics the incretin hormone GLP-1; published characterisation describes glucose-dependent insulin secretion, glucagon suppression, delayed gastric emptying and central appetite-pathway signalling.

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

GLP-1 S is a single-receptor (GLP-1) agonist. GLP-2 TZ is a dual GLP-1/GIP agonist, and GLP-3 RT is a triple GLP-1/GIP/glucagon agonist. The distinction is receptor coverage.

What is the molecular weight and purity?

GLP-1 S has a molecular weight of 4,113.58 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. GLP-1 S 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.
