Description
Chemical Identity & Molecular Composition
Chemical Name: Tirzepatide (LY3298176), Dual GIP and GLP-1 Receptor Agonist Peptide
Peptide Sequence: Synthetic 39-amino acid linear peptide (modified with fatty acid acylation for albumin binding)
Molecular Formula (approx.): C₂₂₀H₃₄₂N₆₂O₆₉
Molecular Weight (approx.): 4813 g/mol
Peptide Class: Dual incretin receptor agonist (GIP/GLP-1), linear acylated peptide
CAS Number: 2160873-10-4
Structural Characteristics
Tirzepatide is a synthetic linear peptide engineered to activate both glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors in vitro. The peptide contains a C20 fatty diacid moiety conjugated to a lysine side chain, allowing reversible albumin binding in laboratory models, which prolongs stability and receptor interaction. Modifications to specific amino acid residues improve enzymatic resistance, solubility, and research-grade reproducibility.
Biochemical Function & Mechanistic Activity (Research Context Only)
-
Dual Receptor Activation
In vitro studies use Tirzepatide to explore activation of GIP and GLP-1 receptors, enabling research into cAMP-mediated signaling pathways and downstream metabolic effects. -
Enhanced Stability & Albumin Interaction
Fatty acid acylation allows reversible binding to albumin in research systems, increasing peptide half-life and maintaining receptor engagement for extended study periods. -
Cellular Signaling & Metabolic Pathways
Researchers study Tirzepatide’s effects on insulinotropic signaling, beta-cell function, and nutrient-sensing pathways in controlled laboratory models. -
Experimental Outcomes
Tirzepatide allows laboratory investigation of dual incretin receptor pharmacology, peptide-receptor kinetics, and metabolic pathway modulation. All observations are limited to in vitro research and are not therapeutic claims.
