Research published in JCI Insight describes tirzepatide as an "imbalanced and biased" dual agonist, meaning it shows equal affinity for the GIP receptor compared to native GIP but approximately 5-fold weaker affinity for the GLP-1 receptor compared to native GLP-1
It incorporates amino acid substitutions relative to the native sequence that increase resistance to enzymatic degradation, but the precise positional changes that distinguish the published afamelanotide sequence from native alpha-MSH should be verified against the primary medicinal chemistry literature (Hruby et al., University of Arizona) rather than taken from secondary sources
