02Mechanism of Action

Semaglutide is a long-acting synthetic analog of glucagon-like peptide-1, acting as an agonist of the GLP-1 receptor. Research models study its role in incretin signaling, glucose-dependent insulin secretion, and energy-homeostasis pathways.

As one of the most extensively studied GLP-1 receptor agonists, it serves as a common comparison standard in metabolic-pathway research.
