The Gastric Inhibitory Polypeptide Receptor (GIPR) is a class B GPCR located on pancreatic β-cells, adipose tissue, and the gastrointestinal tract, where GIP binding stimulates Gαs coupling, adenylyl cyclase activation, and cAMP production. This cascade enhances glucose-dependent insulin secretion, modulates lipid metabolism, and regulates energy balance. As part of the incretin pathways alongside GLP-1, GIPR agonists like tirzepatide highlight the therapeutic importance of dual-incretin modulation in metabolic and obesity research.
This bioassay kit supports pharmaceutical development of GIPR-targeted therapies for diabetes, obesity, and metabolic disorders. Use cases include drug characterization, lot release testing, stability studies, and neutralizing antibody screening. Its ready-to-use format accelerates assay setup and delivers reproducible results across laboratories.
The qualified cAMP Hunter™ Tirzepatide (GIP RA) Bioassay Kit features qualified CHO-K1 cells overexpressing human GIPR, EFC-based cAMP detection reagents, cell plating media, dilution buffer, control agonist (optional), and 96-well plates.
