Tirzepatide is a synthetic peptide comprising 39 amino acids designed to emulate the effects of multiple gut hormones. Its molecular structure features a unique sequence that combines GLP-1 and GIP (gastric inhibitory peptide) analogs, with specific modifications that enhance its stability and extend its action. The peptide includes a fatty acid side chain that facilitates prolonged circulation in the bloodstream. This structural design supports various beneficial effects, including improved regulation of blood sugar levels and potential support for weight management.
