Ordering Information

Biological Activity

Insulin degludec is an acylated basal insulin analogue that acts as an insulin receptor (INSR) agonist. Activation of INSR triggers downstream AKT pathway signaling to promote cellular glucose uptake and regulate glucose metabolism. Upon subcutaneous injection, the compound forms a depot of soluble multi-hexamer chains, providing a protracted absorption profile with steady, sustained systemic release. [1]

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
