Zenagamtide sodium  (Synonyms: Amycretin sodium; NN 9487 sodium)

Cat. No.: HY-P11274A Purity: 99.96%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Zenagamtide (Amycretin; NN 9487) sodium is an orally active, blood-brain barrier permeable triple agonist that targets GLP-1, amylin (Amylin Receptor) and calcitonin receptor (Calcitonin Receptor). Zenagamtide sodium is a single peptide consisting of 68 amino acids that can target brain regions regulating food intake, significantly suppress appetite and reduce energy intake. Therefore, Zenagamtide sodium improves body weight, waist circumference, glycated hemoglobin and lipid profile, and also alleviates the histological features of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and enhances insulin sensitivity. Zenagamtide sodium may cause transient increases in heart rate and fluctuations in serum calcium levels, but it is an important compound for the study of overweight, obesity, insulin resistance and related metabolic diseases.

IC50 & Target

GLP-1[1]

In Vitro

Zenagamtide sodium activates GLP-1, amylin and calcitonin receptors in cellular systems of humans, mice and rats[1].
Zenagamtide sodium (10-fold to 3-fold serial dilution; 30 min-3 h) potently activates human, mouse and rat GLP-1R, mouse and rat AMY3 (a)R, as well as mouse and rat CTR, with EC50 values ranging from 8.4×10-13 M to 7.8×10-11 M[2].
Zenagamtide sodium (10-fold serial dilution; 30 min) potently activates human AMY1 (a)R, AMY2 (a)R, AMY3 (a)R, and CTR (a), with EC50 values ranging from 1.30×10-12 M to 1.72×10-11 M[2].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
