A recombinant human glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1albumin protein (albugon) mimics peptidergic activation of GLP-1 receptor-dependent pathways coupled with satiety, gastrointestinal motility, and glucose homeostasis
JAMA Netw Open 7, e2423385 (2024)
It binds to the GLP-1R, stimulating insulin secretion, suppressing glucagon release, delaying gastric emptying, and promoting satiety
