Semaglutide is a synthetic glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist — a peptide engineered to mimic and extend the activity of the endogenous incretin hormone GLP-1 while resisting the rapid enzymatic degradation that limits native GLP-1’s duration of action. It represents one of the more successful examples of rational peptide drug design: a molecule deliberately modified…

Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a 30-amino acid incretin hormone produced by L-cells of the distal small intestine and colon in response to nutrient intake. Since its initial characterisation in the 1980s, GLP-1 has become one of the most extensively studied peptide hormones in metabolic biology, with its receptor — the GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) — established…
