SM1 5mg – Research Peptide Overview
SM1 is a synthetic analogue of human glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), sharing approximately 94% sequence homology with the native hormone. It incorporates a C18 fatty diacid modification that enables strong albumin binding, extending its half-life significantly compared to native GLP-1. SM1 is among the most widely studied GLP-1 receptor agonist compounds in biochemical research, used to investigate incretin signalling and glucose homeostasis pathways. Supplied as a lyophilised powder in a sealed research vial. For laboratory and research use only, not for human or veterinary use.
Pyrox Labs sources SM1 5mg exclusively from vetted manufacturing partners, with independent batch testing carried out by Janoshik Analytical. This 5mg format is intended for researchers requiring a standard reference quantity, suited to smaller-scale experimental protocols or initial-stage studies.

Research Applications
Within laboratory settings, SM1 is primarily investigated for its role as a GLP-1 receptor agonist. Research interest centres on incretin-mediated insulin secretion, gastric emptying rate, and appetite-regulation pathways in model systems.
Its extended half-life, a result of the C18 fatty diacid side chain enabling reversible albumin binding, makes it a useful reference compound. Researchers often use it when comparing pharmacokinetic profiles against shorter-acting GLP-1 analogues.
Ongoing peptide research also explores downstream signalling cascades linked to glucose homeostasis. This offers researchers a well-characterised compound with an established body of published data to reference alongside their own findings.
As with all compounds supplied by Pyrox Labs, SM1 5mg is intended solely to support this kind of controlled, laboratory-based investigation.
Researchers often select SM1 5mg as a starting-point quantity when establishing a new experimental protocol, before scaling to higher-strength vials for extended studies. This makes it a practical option for pilot-stage or comparative research work.
Storage Guidance
- Store lyophilised powder in a freezer (-20°C) for long-term storage, or refrigerated (2–8°C) for short-term use, away from light
- Once reconstituted, store refrigerated (2–8°C) and use within the timeframe indicated by your research protocol
- Do not freeze reconstituted solution
- Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles
Frequently Asked Questions
Is SM1 5mg legal in the UK?
Yes, when supplied and used strictly for laboratory research purposes. SM1 5mg is not supplied for human use, medical use, or therapeutic application.
Does SM1 5mg have a Certificate of Analysis?
Tested batches are independently verified for purity and identity – check the batch code on your vial against our CoA Hub. View the verified Certificate of Analysis for this batch, or search by product name and batch/lot number on our COA Hub.
How is SM1 5mg supplied?
Each vial in lyophilised powder form, supplied in a sterile sealed glass vial.
How fast is UK delivery?
Orders placed before 4:30pm are dispatched the same working day, Monday to Friday, with tracked delivery. Orders after that go the next working day.
Who performs third-party testing on SM1 5mg?
All Pyrox Labs compounds are independently verified by Janoshik Analytical, a specialist third-party laboratory used widely across the research compound industry.
Can SM1 5mg be reconstituted for research use?
Yes, researchers typically reconstitute the lyophilised powder using bacteriostatic water as part of their own experimental protocol. Pyrox Labs does not provide dosing or administration guidance, as this product is not intended for human or animal use.
