Tirzepatide - Overview

Tirzepatide is a synthetic 39-amino-acid peptide characterised in the literature as a dual agonist at the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors. Supplied as lyophilised powder for in-vitro research use only.

  • Dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist
  • 39-amino-acid synthetic peptide
  • Lyophilised for laboratory use
  • Third-party purity tested
  • Research use only

Semaglutide - Overview

Semaglutide is a 31-amino-acid peptide characterised in the literature as an agonist at the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor, sharing approximately 94% sequence homology with native human GLP-1. Supplied as lyophilised powder for in-vitro research use only.

  • GLP-1 receptor agonist
  • 31-amino-acid synthetic peptide
  • ~94% homology with native GLP-1
  • Third-party purity tested
