Also known as LY3298176
A dual GLP-1 / GIP receptor co-agonist peptide studied extensively in incretin and metabolic-signaling research. Supplied as a documented reference standard.
Tirzepatide is a dual GLP-1 receptor / GIP receptor co-agonist studied in incretin and metabolic-signaling research. Engaging two incretin receptors with one molecule is precisely what makes it of interest as a research tool for comparative receptor pharmacology.
It is an acylated co-agonist peptide with a molecular weight of ~4,813.5 g/mol. The lipidation that supports its long half-life is also relevant to its handling and analytical profile.
See incretin & GIP co-agonism and the GLP-1 pathway research overview. Tirzepatide sits between the single agonist semaglutide and the triple agonist retatrutide on the agonism spectrum.
Reconstitution without aggregation is covered in reconstituting GLP-1 class peptides; storage temperature and freeze-thaw effects are discussed in freeze-thaw stability of tirzepatide.
Lots are characterised by HPLC, mass spectrometry and counter-ion analysis, documented per lot (see batch traceability).
Tirzepatide is a research-use-only reference standard, available to qualified researchers by enquiry. Mechanism and analytics only — not clinical use, and not for human or veterinary use.
Store lyophilised at -20 °C; reconstituted material at 2–8 °C within the analytical window.
Stable as a lyophilate; reconstituted purity tracked by HPLC over the storage window.
