Liraglutide is an acylated GLP-1 analogue that shares 97 % amino acid sequence homology to human endogenous GLP-1 (7–37)[1–4]. The single amino acid substitution of lysine with arginine at position 34 and the attachment of a C16 fatty acid chain to lysine at position 26 enables liraglutide to self-associate and form a heptameric structure, which delays absorption from the subcutaneous injection site and provides protection against degradation by DPP-4 enzyme and neutral endopeptidases.
