It's a GLP-1 receptor agonist, pretty much a synthetic version of a hormone your body already makes, and what it does is mimic that signal to help regulate appetite and glucose metabolism — that's the core of why it's used in weight management and metabolic research.

We usually see researchers using it for studies on satiety signaling or energy balance, and most buyers go with the 10mg vials for their initial dose-response work. It's not suited for anything beyond controlled lab use, obviously, and you'll need to keep it stored at 2-8°C in a dry, dark place or the peptide degrades quickly.

Teh molecular weight comes in at roughly 4113 g/mol, and the CAS is 2381089-83-2, but what really matters is the ≥99% purity confirmed by HPLC — that tight tolerance means fewer variables in your assays. Appearance is a white powder, and each vial holds 10mg, which is a standerd format for reconstitution.

We've been handling this compound for a while, so we know powder can be a bit hygroscopic if you're not careful during handling — a detail most spec sheets skip. Also, our company provide a COA with every batch, and you can request the TDS or SDS before ordering (usually within 24 hours).

One thing that catches people off guard is the lead time: we usually have stock, but confirm it if you need more than 50 vials or so, because can vary. The pharmaceutical grade is better than reagent grade for this applicaion, but it's still research use only.
