GLP-2 Dual Agonist
Dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist
Dual GIP / GLP-1 Receptor Agonist
Research context
This compound is a 39-residue synthetic peptide derived from the GIP sequence, engineered for activity at both the GIP and GLP-1 receptors with reported imbalance favouring GIP. Research examines relative receptor potency, β-arrestin recruitment profiles, and biased agonism at each receptor.
Common assays: GIPR/GLP-1R dual binding · cAMP accumulation · β-arrestin recruitment · Receptor internalisation

Common questions
What makes this a dual agonist?
It is based on the GIP sequence but engineered to also activate the GLP-1 receptor. Published characterisation reports differing potency at the two receptors rather than balanced activity.
What is biased agonism in the dual-agonist literature?
It refers to a ligand preferentially activating one downstream pathway over another at the same receptor — here, reported differences between cAMP signalling and β-arrestin recruitment at GLP-1R.
