Dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist studied for advanced metabolic control.
In stock — same-day dispatch on orders before 2 PM GMT, tracked UK delivery.
Tirzepatide is a synthetic dual agonist that targets both the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor and the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor. It is a prominent reference compound in metabolic and incretin research, studied for its combined action across two receptor systems. Innovate Peptides supplies tirzepatide as a high-purity research chemical for laboratory use in the United Kingdom.
Tirzepatide is a single-molecule peptide engineered to engage two distinct incretin receptors simultaneously. This dual-agonist design makes it a valuable tool compound for researchers comparing single-pathway agonists (such as semaglutide) against combined receptor activation in laboratory models.
In laboratory models, tirzepatide acts as an agonist at both the GIP and GLP-1 receptors, two class-B G-protein-coupled receptors central to incretin signalling. Published in-vitro research has examined its effects on receptor activation, glucose-dependent insulin secretion in cell models, and the relative contribution of each receptor pathway.
Published preclinical and in-vitro studies involving dual incretin agonists such as tirzepatide have explored:
Lyophilised tirzepatide is typically stored below -18°C and protected from light for long-term stability. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water for laboratory preparation, research protocols generally recommend refrigeration at 2-8°C and use within a defined working window. Always follow your institution's standard operating procedures for handling research chemicals.
Every batch is independently third-party tested for purity and identity, dispatched same-day on UK orders placed before 2 PM GMT, and shipped tracked. Batch-specific certificates of analysis are available on request with your order number.
