The primary structure of GLP-1 and of semaglutide are shown below. Semaglutide has a non-canonical amino acid in position 8 (corresponding to the second amino acid in the mature 7-37 peptide hormone). A fatty acid is attached is attached to the single lysine in semaglutide via a linker. | The primary structure of GLP-1 and of semaglutide are shown below.
