Description
Tirzepatide is a synthetic peptide that activates both the GIP and GLP-1 receptors, the two main incretin hormone receptors. Each vial contains 10mg of lyophilized tirzepatide for laboratory research.
What Is Tirzepatide?
Incretins are gut hormones released after eating that influence insulin secretion, glucagon release, and gastric emptying. Tirzepatide is a 39-amino-acid peptide based on the native GIP sequence and engineered to also activate the GLP-1 receptor, which makes it a dual agonist.
A C20 fatty diacid chain attached to the peptide promotes reversible binding to albumin, which greatly extends its half-life. It serves as a standard dual-agonist reference compound in laboratories comparing incretin receptor pharmacology.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are class B G protein-coupled receptors?
The GLP-1 and GIP receptors both belong to class B of the GPCR family, characterized by a large extracellular domain that binds peptide hormones. That shared architecture is part of why a single molecule can engage both.
Why is signaling bias studied with this compound?
Dual agonists can drive cAMP accumulation and beta-arrestin recruitment to different degrees at each receptor. Mapping that difference — signaling bias — is a central question in current incretin receptor research.
What makes tirzepatide a dual agonist?
It activates two receptors, GIP and GLP-1, with one molecule. Earlier incretin peptides targeted the GLP-1 receptor only.
How is tirzepatide supplied?
As a lyophilized powder in a sealed 10mg vial.
Is Tirzepatide 10mg Vial intended for human use?
No. This product is sold strictly for in vitro and laboratory research by qualified professionals. It is not for human or veterinary use.
How does tirzepatide differ from semaglutide in receptor research?
Semaglutide is a selective GLP-1 receptor agonist. Tirzepatide activates both the GIP and GLP-1 receptors, which is why it is used as a reference compound in dual-agonist and incretin receptor studies.
How should a tirzepatide research vial be stored?
Keep the lyophilized vial sealed, protected from light, and frozen at -20°C for long-term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Where does Ageless Peptides ship tirzepatide?
Orders ship within the United States within 24 hours. Shipping is $9.95, or free on orders over $75, which includes a single Tirzepatide 10mg vial.
