Exendin-4 is a 39-amino acid peptide derived from the venom of the Gila monster. It serves as a potent and long-acting agonist for the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor, widely utilized in pharmaceutical synthesis for type 2 diabetes management. The molecule features a specific molecular structure with the formula C185H273N47O56S and CAS number 204656-23-5. Standard production involves solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) followed by rigorous purification.
Strictly store at -20°C under inert atmosphere to maintain stability. Handle with appropriate PPE to avoid dermal exposure; potential thyroid C-cell tumors have been observed in rodent studies during preclinical trials.
