GLP-1 SM is a research peptide also known as semaglutide, a synthetic 31-amino-acid analog of human GLP-1 that selectively activates the GLP-1 receptor. It is classified as a single-receptor incretin agonist used in metabolic and endocrinology research. Supplied strictly for Research Use Only.
Yes. GLP-1 SM and semaglutide refer to the same molecule. GLP-1 SM uses the single-receptor naming convention (versus GLP-2 TZ for dual and GLP-3 RT for triple), and semaglutide is the international nonproprietary name. Both names map to the identical sequence.
GLP-1 SM activates the GLP-1 receptor only. GLP-2 TZ adds GIP receptor activity, and GLP-3 RT adds both GIP and glucagon receptor activity. Research models show progressively stronger metabolic effects across the single, dual, and triple agonist classes.

GLP-1 SM is used in preclinical research on glucose homeostasis, GLP-1 receptor signaling, gastric emptying, central appetite pathways, and adipose tissue endpoints. All studies referenced on this page are conducted in rodent or in-vitro systems consistent with RUO classification.
Every batch of GLP-1 SM ships with a third-party COA verifying purity by HPLC (>=99%), identity by mass spectrometry, and lyophilized mass. The batch-specific COA is published on this product page before purchase.
Lyophilized GLP-1 SM is stored at -20C for long-term storage and 2-8C for short-term use within 30 days. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Store in original sealed vials, protected from light.
Semaglutide (the molecule's INN) has clinical approvals in several indications. The GLP-1 SM supplied here is for laboratory and research use only and is not approved for diagnostic, therapeutic, or human use.
