Amylin is co-secreted with insulin from pancreatic β-cells and slows gastric emptying while promoting satiety via central pathways. Long-acting amylin analogues such as cagrilintide are studied alone and in combination with incretin agonists — a different receptor family from GLP-1/GIP.
Tip
When comparing catalogue metabolic compounds, ask: which receptor(s)? mono, dual, triple, or amylin? Mechanism beats marketing synonyms.
