Tirzepatide is A dual GLP-1 / GIP receptor agonist research peptide. All ThePeptideCode products are laboratory research use only.

Mechanism & background

Tirzepatide is a 39-residue peptide engineered to activate two incretin pathways at once — the GLP-1 receptor and the GIP receptor. The molecule includes a C20 fatty-diacid moiety that binds albumin, giving it a circulating half-life of approximately 5 days in research subjects.

Common research applications

Comparative GLP-1 versus dual-agonist studies, weight-loss research, blood-glucose research, formulation and pharmacokinetics work.

Reconstitution and storage

Tirzepatide ships as a lyophilised powder in a sealed glass vial. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water following the step-by-step reconstitution guide. Once reconstituted, store at 2–8 °C for short-term use, or aliquot and freeze at −20 °C for longer storage. See the full dosage and storage guide.

Purity and batch verification

Every Tirzepatide batch shipped by ThePeptideCode is verified by an ISO 17025-accredited independent laboratory using HPLC (purity) and mass spectrometry (identity). Typical purity is ≥99%. Look up your batch ID on the verification page.
