About GLP2-TZ

Dual GIP / GLP-1 receptor agonist for incretin-signalling research.

Supplied as

10 mg per vial, as a lyophilized powder in a sealed glass vial with a crimped cap. The lot number on the label matches the certificate of analysis in the COA library.

Storage and handling

Store lyophilized powder frozen (−20 °C) or refrigerated, sealed and away from light. Once reconstituted, keep refrigerated (2–8 °C).

Handle in a laboratory setting using appropriate protective equipment. Consult the certificate of analysis and safety data for lot-specific information.

Research summary

GLP2-TZ is a 39-residue lipidated peptide that activates two incretin receptors — the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor and the GLP-1 receptor. It is supplied for laboratory research into dual incretin agonism and how the two pathways interact in metabolic regulation.

What is a dual GIP / GLP-1 receptor agonist?

GIP and GLP-1 are the two incretin hormones: gut peptides released after a meal that amplify glucose-dependent insulin secretion1. GIP is secreted by K-cells of the upper small intestine and GLP-1 by L-cells further down; each acts through its own G protein-coupled receptor1,2.

A dual agonist is a single peptide engineered to activate both receptors. Compounds in this class are typically built on a GIP-like sequence with substitutions that confer GLP-1 receptor activity, plus a fatty-acid side chain for albumin binding and a long half-life2,3.

Why researchers study both incretin receptors

GIP was long thought to add little on its own, because its insulin-releasing effect is blunted in some metabolic disease models. Combining GIP receptor and GLP-1 receptor activity in one molecule produced effects in research models that were larger than GLP-1 receptor agonism alone, which made dual agonism a major line of metabolic research2,3.

  • Islet biology: how the two receptors combine to shape insulin and glucagon secretion1.
  • Adipose tissue and lipid handling, where GIP receptors are expressed2.
  • Central appetite pathways and energy balance3.
  • Comparisons with single-receptor (GLP1-SG) and triple-receptor (GLP3-RT) agonists.

Limitations of the evidence

How the GIP receptor contributes is still debated: both agonism and antagonism of that receptor have been reported to affect body weight in different models. Results depend on the exact compound and model. This research compound is not a medicine, has not been evaluated by the FDA, and is sold for laboratory research only.

GLP2-TZ FAQ

What does GLP2-TZ act on?

Two receptors: the GIP receptor and the GLP-1 receptor, both class B G protein-coupled receptors of the incretin system1,2.

How is a dual agonist different from a GLP-1 receptor agonist?

A GLP-1 receptor agonist such as GLP1-SG activates one incretin receptor; a dual agonist activates both the GIP and GLP-1 receptors with one molecule2.

Which sizes are available?

10 mg, 30 mg, 60 mg and 100 mg vials of lyophilized peptide, each lot with its own certificate.

How should a lyophilized GLP research peptide be stored?

Sealed vials of lyophilized peptide are kept frozen (−20 °C) or refrigerated, dry and away from light. Peptide storage and stability explains why.

How is each lot verified?

Every lot is tested by an independent laboratory for identity (mass spectrometry) and purity (HPLC). The certificate for the lot on your vial is published in the COA library and linked from this page.
