Tirzepatide is a synthetic 39-amino-acid linear peptide that acts as a dual agonist at both the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors. A C20 fatty diacid moiety conjugated via a linker at Lys20 confers albumin binding and an extended half-life. The dual incretin mechanism is studied for its combined effect on insulin secretion, glucose disposal, gastric emptying, and appetite regulation in experimental metabolic models.
