What Is Tirzepatide?
Tirzepatide is a synthetic dual incretin receptor agonist engineered to simultaneously activate both the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR) and the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R). Built on a 39-amino acid peptide backbone derived from the native GIP sequence, tirzepatide incorporates targeted modifications that enable potent binding to both incretin receptors while maintaining a pharmacokinetic profile suitable for once-weekly administration. A C20 fatty diacid moiety attached to a lysine residue at...
