Biological Background

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.

cAMP Hunter Tirzepatide GIP RA Assay Principle

In the cAMP Hunter Tirzepatide (GIP RA) Bioassay, CHO-K1 cells overexpress human GIPR to monitor receptor activation via native Gαs coupling. Ligand binding stimulates adenylate cyclase to convert ATP to cAMP. Intracellular cAMP competes with ED-labeled cAMP for anti-cAMP antibody in a homogeneous, gain-of-signal EFC assay. Unbound ED-cAMP complements with EA fragment to form active β-gal, which cleaves substrate to generate chemiluminescence proportional to cellular cAMP.
