Insulin efsitora alfa

Insulin efsitora alfa (LY-3209590) is a selective agonist of insulin receptor (IR). Insulin efsitora alfa is a fusion protein composed of human IR agonists fused with the crystallizable (Fc) domain of human immunoglobulin G2 (IgG2) fragment, with a molecular weight of 64.1 kDa. Insulin efsitora alfa is well tolerated and has potential applications in diabetes[1].
