Product Overview
TZ Peptide is a synthetic 39-amino acid peptide characterized as a dual agonist at the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) and the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR). This dual-receptor profile — described in the literature as a "twincretin" — combines the binding determinants of two incretin systems in a single sequence.
The peptide carries three structural modifications relevant to its physicochemical behaviour: α-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib) at positions 2 and 13, which sterically hinders DPP-4 cleavage; a C20 fatty diacid conjugated at lysine-20 via a hydrophilic linker, which mediates reversible albumin binding; and C-terminal amidation.

| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Sequence | Tyr-Aib-Glu-Gly-Thr-Phe-Thr-Ser-Asp-Tyr-Ser-Ile-Aib-Leu-Asp-Lys-Ile-Ala-Gln-Lys(γ-Glu-AEEA-AEEA-C20 diacid)-Ala-Phe-Val-Gln-Trp-Leu-Ile-Ala-Gly-Gly-Pro-Ser-Ser-Gly-Ala-Pro-Pro-Pro-Ser-NH2 |
| Molecular Formula | C225H348N48O68 |
| C-Terminus | Amidated (–NH2) |
Structural Modifications
- Aib² and Aib¹³ — non-coded residues whose quaternary α-carbon introduces steric hindrance at the DPP-4 recognition site, reducing susceptibility to enzymatic cleavage.
- Lys²⁰-C20 fatty diacid — eicosanedioic acid attached through a γ-Glu-(AEEA)2 hydrophilic linker, conferring reversible albumin binding. Extended plasma residence associated with this modification is described in published pharmacokinetic literature.
- C-terminal amidation — the C-terminus is present as the carboxamide rather than the free acid.
Receptor Pharmacology
The following summarizes established incretin receptor biology as reported in the scientific literature. It describes the receptor systems this reagent is used to investigate.
GLP-1R and GIPR are class B G-protein-coupled receptors. Agonist binding promotes Gs coupling, adenylyl cyclase activation and intracellular cAMP accumulation, followed by PKA-mediated phosphorylation events. In pancreatic beta-cell models this signalling axis is associated with glucose-dependent modulation of insulin secretion.
Compounds engaging both receptors are described in the literature as dual incretin agonists. Comparative characterization of dual versus single-receptor engagement at the assay level is an active area of published in vitro research.
Research Applications
Supplied as a reference standard and tool compound for in vitro and preclinical investigation.
- Incretin Receptor Pharmacology — binding affinity determination, cAMP accumulation assays, β-arrestin recruitment, receptor internalization kinetics.
- Signal Transduction — Gs/cAMP/PKA pathway characterization in transfected cell lines and primary islet preparations.
- Comparative Agonism — dual- versus single-receptor engagement as a methodological comparator.
- Structure–Activity Studies — contribution of Aib substitution and lipidation to protease resistance and albumin binding in vitro.
- Peptide Chemistry and Analytics — reference material for HPLC and MS method development, stability and degradation studies.
All applications are limited to controlled laboratory research environments.

Frequently Encountered Inquiries
How does TZ Peptide differ from single-target incretin mimetics?
TZ Peptide engages both GLP-1R and GIPR, whereas single-target compounds engage GLP-1R alone. This makes it useful as a comparator in receptor-level studies of dual versus single-receptor engagement.
What are the key structural modifications?
Aib residues at positions 2 and 13 hinder DPP-4 cleavage. Lysine-20 carries a C20 fatty diacid (eicosanedioic acid) through a γ-Glu-(AEEA)2 hydrophilic linker, mediating albumin binding. The C-terminus is amidated.
What research applications are appropriate?
Incretin receptor pharmacology, signal transduction characterization, structure–activity studies, and analytical method development. All applications limited to controlled laboratory environments.
What are the storage requirements?
Lyophilized material is stable for 24 months at −20 °C. Reconstituted solutions show reduced stability and should be aliquoted and frozen. Protect from light and avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles.
Is a Certificate of Analysis provided?
Yes. Each batch ships with a lot-specific CoA documenting HPLC purity, MS identity confirmation and peptide content.

STORAGE AND HANDLING
Lyophilized Peptide Stability
All BIONIX Research products are manufactured using lyophilization — a pharmaceutical-industry freeze-drying process that creates a stable crystalline structure, removing approximately 95% of moisture from the peptide compound.
This technology ensures up to 3-4 months of stability at ambient temperatures during shipping and storage. The result: a pure, puffy white powder that maintains structural integrity until reconstitution, regardless of logistical conditions.
| Condition | Duration |
|---|---|
| -20°C | Up to 24 months |
| 2-8°C | Up to 3 months (short-term) |
Protect from light and moisture. The lyophilized state prevents hydrolytic degradation and maintains peptide bond integrity.
Reconstitution Protocol:
- Solvent: Sterile bacteriostatic water or appropriate buffer
- Technique: Add solvent slowly along vial wall
- Mixing: Gently swirl until dissolved—do not shake or vortex (shear forces damage peptide bonds)
- Sterility: Maintain aseptic conditions throughout
Post-Reconstitution Storage:
- 2-8°C: Use within 4 weeks
- Aliquot and freeze at -20°C for extended storage
- Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles
- Protect from light and moisture
The 3-Tier Storage Protocol
STABLE - Prewritten Phase (Up to 4 Months) Unreconstituted lyophilized peptides remain chemically stable at room temperature (15-25°C) for 3-4 months when stored away from direct sunlight and moisture. The sealed vacuum packaging provides oxidative protection during this window.
FRESH - Active Phase (Up to 30 Days) Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, immediate refrigeration at 2-8°C is required. Stability degrades rapidly above this threshold — refrigerate within 30 minutes of reconstitution for optimal preservation.
PRESERVATION - Long-Term Phase (6-12 Months+) For extended storage beyond 30 days, transfer to -20°C (standard freezer, not frost-free). At this temperature, most reconstituted peptides maintain stability for 6-12 months. Note: Avoid freeze-thaw cycles — each temperature fluctuation degrades peptide bonds.
Quality Indicators to Monitor
- Visual inspection: Solution should remain clear; cloudiness indicates degradation
- Precipitation: Particulates signal protein denaturation — discard immediately
- Temperature logs: Use a calibrated thermometer; refrigerator door storage fluctuates more than back shelves
- Time tracking: Label each vial with reconstitution date — 30-day countdown begins at mixing
Handling Best Practices
Store peptides in their original amber vials until reconstitution. Post-reconstitution: dark glass, light-blocking storage containers recommended. Never expose vials to direct sunlight or UV light — photodegradation occurs within hours.
