See how research connects peptides to biological targets, signaling pathways, and biological processes.
This tool shows, for each peptide, which biological target the available research points to, how directly that relationship is supported, and how it connects to broader signaling pathways and biological processes. It describes what research suggests about biological mechanisms -- not proven health or treatment outcomes, and not medical advice. See each peptide's full research profile for complete detail, citations, and safety information.

Understanding mechanism evidence
This tool describes research into biological targets, signaling pathways, and biological processes -- not proven health or treatment outcomes, and not medical advice. Relationship-support and evidence-context labels describe the type and directness of research available, not proof of safety or effectiveness. See each peptide's full research profile for complete detail, citations, and safety information.

Cagrilintide
2 mechanism branches · Directly supported · Human + preclinical research
This peptide shows research on 2 parallel targets:
Peptide / compoundCagrilintide
Directly supported
Biological targetAmylin receptorReceptor
Leads to
PathwayCalcitonin & Amylin Signaling
Contributes to
Biological processSatiety / reduced food intake
A biological process is not the same as a proven health or treatment outcome.
Evidence context
Human + preclinical research
The Sanity-native citations establish clinical satiety/weight effect in human Phase 2/3 trials but do not themselves resolve individual AMY1R/AMY2R/AMY3R receptor-complex selectivity; that resolution rests on the externally-provided sources.
