39-amino-acid dual-receptor agonist (GIP and GLP-1) — studied in incretin pharmacology research.
Select size
Quantity
Tirzepatide is a 39-amino-acid synthetic peptide that hits two different metabolic receptors at once: GIP and GLP-1, both members of the "incretin" family. A C20 fatty-acid tag at one specific amino acid (Lys-20) helps it stick to albumin in lab conditions, extending its useful research half-life. It's the dual-agonist counterpart to Retatrutide's triple-agonist activity.
How it's been studied: Cell-culture work has compared Tirzepatide's potency at GIP vs. GLP-1 receptors against single-agonist peptides, and pancreatic-β-cell-line studies have examined how the combined receptor activity shapes insulin-release signaling. Although clinical research exists, this product is research-use-only.
