The Four Enemies of Peptide Stability 1
In cardiac cells, the physical proximity between mitochondria and the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR, a specific type of ER in heart and skeletal muscle cells) allows the exchange of Ca 2+ in local microdomains, providing rapid Ca 2+ buffering
For those unfamiliar, GLP-1 agonists are primarily recognized for their role in weight loss and diabetes management
Its important for the nutrition industry to move past products trying to compete one-on-one with GLP-1 receptor agonists
It also pairs well with a quality multivitamin and omega-3s
Here, we determine structures of cagrilintide bound to Gs-coupled, active, amylin receptors (AMY 1 R, AMY 2 R, AMY 3 R) and calcitonin receptor (CTR) and compare cagrilintide interactions and the dynamics of receptor complexes with previously reported structures of receptors bound to rat amylin, salmon calcitonin or recently developed amylin-based peptides
