Comparable to other peptides linked to fatty acids (e.g., the insulins detemir and degludec, the GLP-1RA liraglutide and semaglutide), the fatty acid side chain allows binding to albumin after subcutaneous injection, slows enzymatic degradation and prolongs biological half-life ( In vitro signaling studies demonstrated that tirzepatide was able to activate the GIP receptor with comparable potency to native GIP ( in vitro and in vivo models used, tirzepatide was able to stimulate glucose-dependent insulin secretion via GIP and/or GLP-1 receptor activation
