Biology & mechanism

Amylin is co-secreted with insulin by beta cells and signals satiety through the area postrema. Cagrilintide is a long-acting analog engineered for weekly administration, acting at amylin and calcitonin receptor complexes. Its interest lies in a satiety mechanism largely orthogonal to GLP-1, which is why it is being developed in combination with semaglutide (CagriSema).
