Mechanism of action

Exendin-4 is a GLP-1 receptor agonist derived from Gila monster venom, fused to an Fc domain to extend its half-life. It mimics glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), binding to GLP-1 receptors on pancreatic beta cells to enhance glucose-dependent insulin secretion, while simultaneously inhibiting glucagon release and slowing gastric emptying. The Fc fusion increases circulating half-life, allowing for less frequent dosing compared to native exendin-4.
