Cagrilintide 10mg is a long-acting synthetic analogue of amylin, a peptide hormone released alongside insulin, supplied in one pre-filled research pen. Every Cagrilintide pen is prepared to order in the UK and shipped cold chain by tracked delivery.
Cagrilintide was designed with sequence changes and a fatty-acid side chain that make it more stable and longer acting than native amylin. Our research compound guide covers related metabolic peptides, including GLP3-RTA.
How Cagrilintide is studied
Cagrilintide activates amylin receptors, which form when the calcitonin receptor pairs with a receptor activity-modifying protein (RAMP), and it also activates the calcitonin receptor itself. Laboratory studies have compared it with selective and non-selective agonists in receptor-signalling assays, and a dedicated tool compound has been developed for preclinical mode-of-action work.
5 key research areas
- Amylin receptor pharmacology. Receptor assays examined its activity at the three amylin receptor subtypes (AMY1–3).
- Calcitonin receptor signalling. It also activates the calcitonin receptor, which makes it a non-selective agonist within this receptor family.
- Preclinical tool compounds. A related tool compound, 0839, was characterised for mode-of-action studies of amylin analogues in rodent models.
- Peptide design and stability. Its development paper describes the sequence and acylation changes used to extend its half-life.
- Receptor selectivity. Receptor assays compared it with six selective and non-selective agonists across the calcitonin receptor family.

What is Cagrilintide?
Cagrilintide is a long-acting synthetic analogue of amylin, a peptide hormone released alongside insulin. It acts on amylin and calcitonin receptors and has been studied in receptor assays and rodent models. Apexion supplies it for laboratory research only.
What is the difference between Cagrilintide and amylin?
Cagrilintide is a modified analogue of amylin. Changes to its sequence and an added fatty-acid side chain make it more stable and longer acting than native amylin, which breaks down quickly.
How much Cagrilintide is in each pen?
Each pen contains 10 mg of Cagrilintide in one pre-filled research pen. Every pen comes from a single batch and carries its batch number.
Is Cagrilintide independently tested?
Every Cagrilintide pen is made fresh after your order is placed, so each one is prepared and quality checked to order rather than taken from old stock. Independent third-party testing of Cagrilintide is under way, and the batch Certificate of Analysis will be published as soon as the results are verified. Each pen carries a batch number, so its documentation can be traced.
Can Cagrilintide be used in humans or animals?
No. Cagrilintide is not a medicine and is not licensed by the MHRA. It is supplied strictly for in-vitro laboratory research, and is not for human or veterinary use, diagnosis or treatment.
How should Cagrilintide be stored?
Cagrilintide is shipped cold chain. On arrival, keep the pen sealed and store it at −20 °C for long-term storage, away from heat and direct light. Handle it as little as possible and follow any batch-specific guidance supplied with your order.
