Tirzepatide is a synthetic 39-amino acid peptide that functions as a dual agonist of the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor and the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor. This novel mechanism of action distinguishes it from single-receptor agonists and has made it a subject of considerable scientific interest in metabolic and endocrine research.
As a dual incretin mimetic, tirzepatide engages both GIP and GLP-1 signalling pathways simultaneously, influencing insulin secretion, glucagon suppression, gastric emptying, and appetite regulation. Research has explored its effects on lipid metabolism, adipose tissue function, insulin sensitivity, and energy homeostasis, making it a valuable tool across a range of investigative disciplines.
Peptician supplies tirzepatide at 10mg per vial as a lyophilised powder with a purity of >98% as verified by HPLC analysis.
For optimal stability, tirzepatide should be stored at -20°C in its lyophilised form, protected from light and moisture. Once reconstituted, solutions should be kept refrigerated at 4°C and used within a short timeframe.
