- | + | Main binding domains between tirzepatide and the GIP receptor would contain an arginine 190 and glutamine 220 residues to facilitate binding of the ligand. One key difference found was a point mutation at position 7 between an Isoleucine and Threonine <ref name='Sun'>PMID:35333651</ref>, which would result in a higher affinity for the tirzepatide molecule binding onto the receptor than the ligand. | |
