Cagrilinitide

Cagrilintide is an investigational, long-acting synthetic analogue of amylin, a naturally occurring pancreatic peptide hormone involved in post-meal signaling. Its structure incorporates a lipid modification and an intramolecular disulfide bridge. Laboratory research investigates its interactions with amylin and calcitonin receptor systems, along with signaling pathways associated with satiety, energy balance, and glucose regulation.
