Quick answer

What is Exenatide?

Built from index records dated 2026-10-09 to 2026-10-13 Compiled by an automated pipeline, checked by The Peptide Observer editorial desk. No qualified clinical reviewer. How this site works

Exenatide is a peptide, grouped on this site under Incretin receptor agonists, and the 12 research records kept here are 12 from trials in people.

The literature search returned 2,890 records. This site keeps 12 of them, which is 0.42 per cent of what came back.

What it is

This site puts it in the Incretin receptor agonists group.

A GLP-1 receptor agonist; the retrieved 1993 record reports exendin-4 as a high potency agonist at the GLP-1 receptor.[1]

Stated in the title of the cited 1993 Journal of Biological Chemistry paper.

What kind of records

Several of the records kept here are trials in people.

That sentence is produced by counting, not by reading. What was counted: 12 of 12 indexed records are interventional human trials by their own assigned publication type.
