We needed something that hits both GIP and GLP-1 receptors for our metabolic studies, and this dual agonist fits that profile—it's a 4813.5 g/mol peptide with a CAS of 2023788-19-2, and the purity is at least 99.5% according to the COA. The white powder form is pretty standdard for lyophilized peptides, and storage is straightforward at 2-8°C in a dry enviroment, though you'll want to avoid freeze-thaw cycles once reconstituted.
Most labs I know use this for weight management and glucose regulation pathways, but it's also being explored in neuroprotective effects and chronic pain research—though honestly, the neuro work is still early and not something I'd recommend for a first-time buyer. The 5mg to 50mg vials are customizable, so we're ordering the 10mg vials since they're easier to aliquot for our.
Actually, one thing to flag: this isn't suited for anything beyond research use only—it's not approved for human consumption, and the suppilers we've vetted include that disclaimer. The lead time is usually 10-14 business days, but confirm stock before ordering, as they've had on the 50mg vials recently.
For the bulk order, we're going with 50 vials of 10mg each, which covers about three months of assays for our team of four. The MOQ was 10 vials, so we're well above that, and the price per vial drops by about 15% at this quantity—better than reagent grade for this specific compound because of the tighter purity specs.
The molecular formula is C225H348N48O68, which is pretty large for a peptide, so solubility can be tricky—you'll want to use sterile water or a specific buffer, not just any solvent. We usually have stock, but the last batch took 20 days or so due to customs clearance, so factor that into your timeline.
Anyway, key numbers are the purity at 99.5% and the storage requrement—if it's not kept cold, the degradation rate jumps noticeably after 30 days. That's basically it for the rationale.
