Description
Product Description
Exendin-4 is a 39-amino-acid peptide originally isolated from the venom of Heloderma suspectum and identified as a potent agonist of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R). Due to its structural stability and resistance to enzymatic degradation, Exendin-4 has become an important experimental tool in studies of incretin biology and metabolic regulation.
In laboratory research, Exendin-4 is widely used to investigate GLP-1 receptor–mediated signaling pathways involved in insulin secretion, glucose homeostasis, and pancreatic beta-cell function. Compared with native GLP-1, Exendin-4 exhibits prolonged receptor activation, making it particularly suitable for receptor binding, signaling, and functional assays.
Exendin-4 Acetate is supplied as a trifluoroacetate- or acetate-based peptide salt, supporting solubility, stability, and reproducibility under controlled experimental conditions.

Exendin-4 Acetate Chemical structure
Storage & Stability
Lyophilized Exendin-4 Acetate should be stored at −20 °C in a dry, light-protected environment. After reconstitution, Exendin-4 solutions should be aliquoted and frozen to avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles that may affect peptide stability.
