### Overview

Cagrilintide is a long-acting synthetic analogue of human amylin (islet amyloid polypeptide, IAPP) engineered for extended receptor activation via fatty acid conjugation. As a potent amylin receptor (AMY1-3) agonist, cagrilintide activates calcitonin receptor-based heterodimeric complexes in the hindbrain and hypothalamus, producing potent satiety signaling, glucagon suppression, and gastric emptying modulation. Its primary research significance lies in its combination pharmacology with semaglutide (the CagriSema combination), with published clinical research investigating additive effects through amylin and GLP-1 receptor co-stimulation.

### What It Is

Cagrilintide is a 37-amino acid amylin analogue conjugated to a C20 fatty diacid chain at a specific lysine residue for albumin binding and extended half-life. It acts as a full agonist at AMY1, AMY2, and AMY3 receptor subtypes — calcitonin receptor (CTR) heterodimers with RAMP1, RAMP2, and RAMP3 respectively. MW approximately 4,100–4,200 Da. CAS number: 2381279-07-6.

### Key Research Applications
