Pramlintide is a lab-made version of human amylin — the peptide, also called islet amyloid polypeptide, that beta cells release together with insulin — and like amylin it is 37 amino acids long. Natural human amylin is tricky to work with because it quickly clumps into amyloid fibres. Pramlintide puts proline in three positions (25, 28 and 29), copying the sequence of rat amylin, which never forms fibres; the result is a soluble molecule that is far easier to handle yet still activates amylin receptors.
It keeps the defining features of the amylin family: a disulfide bond joining the two cysteines close to the start of the chain, and a tyrosine at the end carrying an amide — both needed for binding the receptor. Calculated mass 3949.40 g/mol; CAS number 151126-32-8. We make it by solid-phase synthesis, purify it by reversed-phase HPLC to ≥99% and supply it freeze-dried in sealed vials of 5 mg or 10 mg, each lot with its certificate of analysis.

Questions about Pramlintide
What is pramlintide?
A synthetic 37-residue version of human amylin, the hormone beta cells release with insulin. Three prolines borrowed from the rat sequence prevent it from forming amyloid fibrils, so it stays dissolved and behaves predictably in experiments.
How does it differ from GLP-1 analogues like semaglutide?
They use separate receptor families. Semaglutide switches on the GLP-1 receptor, while pramlintide works through amylin receptors — the calcitonin receptor combined with a receptor activity-modifying protein (RAMP). Labs frequently test the two in parallel, or together, to tell the pathways apart.
Why is it more stable than human amylin?
Human amylin forms fibres so fast that its concentration and activity can't be relied on during an assay. Prolines in positions 25, 28 and 29 break up the stacking of beta sheets that drives this clumping — the same arrangement found in rat amylin, which stays soluble.
How is purity confirmed, and is there a COA?
HPLC (reversed-phase) shows at least 99% purity for each lot, and mass spectrometry confirms the expected 3949.40 g/mol. You can request the certificate matching your vial's lot number either before you order or once it has arrived.
Which vial size should I pick?
5 mg works well for assay development, receptor-binding studies or a brief pilot; 10 mg means fewer vials to open in longer or multi-arm studies — and fewer openings mean fewer reconstitutions and less variation between preparations.
What are the storage requirements?
Freeze the unopened vial at −20 °C, protected from light and damp. Once dissolved, laboratories refrigerate it (2–8 °C) and finish it within the study period they have planned, dividing it into portions so it doesn't go through freeze–thaw cycles again and again.
