Tirzepatide
A dual-agonist compound that activates GLP-1 and GIP receptors.
Tirzepatide is a synthetic 39-amino-acid peptide and dual agonist of the GIP and GLP-1 receptors, used as a reference material in incretin-receptor and metabolic-signaling research.
Activates GLP-1 and GIP receptors
One of the most studied dual-agonist compounds
CAS 2023788-19-2
GLP-1 / GIP dual-agonist peptide
- Mechanism
Scientific Mechanism
Receptor activation triggers downstream cAMP signaling that modulates insulin secretion, gastric emptying, and satiety signaling in in-vitro and animal models.
- Mechanism detail
How It Works
Tirzepatide activates two receptors simultaneously:
glp1:
GLP-1: receptor/pathway activity studied in in-vitro signaling models
gip:
GIP: Enhances insulin release, works synergistically with GLP-1
- Research evidence
