Description

Tirzepatide is a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist consisting of 39 amino acids. It is structurally based on the native GIP sequence with modifications to enable GLP-1 receptor co-activation. Research has focused on its role in glucose homeostasis, metabolic regulation, and appetite signalling pathways. It is supplied in lyophilised form for research purposes.
