Human GIP receptor (hGIPR). Human GIP(3-30), amide TFA acts as a high-affinity antagonist of the human GIP receptor in vitro, blocking GIP-induced signaling. The GIP receptor is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that is expressed in pancreatic β-cells, adipose tissue, bone, and the central nervous system. Upon activation by GIP(1-42), the receptor couples to Gs proteins, leading to activation of adenylyl cyclase, increased cAMP levels, and activation of protein kinase A (PKA) and Epac. This signaling pathway stimulates insulin secretion, promotes β-cell proliferation and survival, and regulates lipid metabolism. By competitively binding to the GIP receptor, human GIP(3-30), amide TFA blocks GIP-mediated signaling, thereby inhibiting GIP-stimulated insulin secretion and other GIP-dependent effects.

| ln Vitro |
GIP(3-30)NH2 is a potent competitive antagonist of the GIP receptor and effectively inhibits GIP-mediated insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin release. In vitro, human GIP(3-30), amide TFA acts as a high-affinity antagonist of the human GIP receptor, blocking GIP-induced signaling. It inhibits GIP-stimulated insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells and cAMP production in GIP receptor-expressing cells. By blocking GIP receptor signaling, the peptide also inhibits GIP-mediated effects on adipocytes, including lipogenesis and fat storage. Detailed IC50 or Ki values are not provided in the available literature, but the compound is described as a high-affinity antagonist.
|
| ln Vivo |
Human GIP(3-30), amide TFA has potential anti-obesity and anti-diabetic effects by blocking GIP receptor signaling. GIP plays a role in glucose homeostasis, insulin secretion, and energy balance. In obesity, GIP levels are elevated, and GIP receptor signaling promotes fat storage and adiposity. By blocking GIP receptor signaling, GIP(3-30)NH2 may reduce fat accumulation and improve glucose tolerance. In animal models of obesity and diabetes, GIP receptor antagonists have been shown to improve glucose tolerance, reduce body weight, and ameliorate insulin resistance. The peptide is used in research to investigate the role of GIP in metabolic disorders such as diabetes and obesity.

| Enzyme Assay |
Receptor binding assays are performed using radiolabeled GIP (e.g., 125I-GIP) incubated with membranes expressing the human GIP receptor in the presence of varying concentrations of human GIP(3-30), amide TFA. Bound radioactivity is separated from free radioligand by filtration or centrifugation, and the inhibition of specific binding is calculated. IC50 or Ki values are determined by fitting competition binding data to a sigmoidal dose-response curve. The high-affinity binding of the antagonist to the GIP receptor confirms its ability to compete with the natural ligand for receptor occupancy.
|
| Cell Assay |
cAMP accumulation assays are performed using cells expressing the human GIP receptor (e.g., HEK293 or CHO cells stably transfected with hGIPR) treated with human GIP(3-30), amide TFA followed by GIP(1-42) stimulation. Intracellular cAMP levels are measured via ELISA or FRET-based methods (e.g., using a cAMP biosensor or competitive immunoassay). The ability of the antagonist to inhibit GIP-stimulated cAMP production demonstrates its functional antagonism at the receptor level. β-arrestin recruitment assays can also be performed to assess the effects of the antagonist on GIP-induced β-arrestin signaling.
|
| Animal Protocol |
Animal models of obesity and diabetes (e.g., diet-induced obese mice, db/db mice, high-fat diet-fed mice) are administered human GIP(3-30), amide TFA via subcutaneous or intraperitoneal routes. Glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) are performed to assess the effects of the antagonist on glucose handling. Insulin levels are measured to evaluate the effects on insulin secretion. Body weight and food intake are monitored to assess the effects on energy balance. The peptide is used in research to investigate the role of GIP in metabolic disorders.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Peptide antagonists such as human GIP(3-30), amide TFA typically have short half-lives due to rapid renal clearance and proteolytic degradation. GIP(3-30)NH2 is a naturally occurring metabolite of GIP, and its half-life is limited by DPP-4 cleavage and renal clearance. Pharmacokinetic parameters are evaluated in rodents; metabolic stability may be improved by modifications to resist DPP-4 cleavage. The peptide is typically administered via parenteral routes (subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, intravenous) for in vivo studies. Detailed PK data specific to human GIP(3-30), amide TFA are not extensively reported in the available literature.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Peptide-based GIP receptor antagonists are generally well-tolerated at therapeutic doses. Potential toxicities may include gastrointestinal effects and hypoglycemia due to GIP signaling blockade. GIP plays a role in glucose-dependent insulin secretion, and its blockade could theoretically impair glucose-stimulated insulin release, leading to glucose intolerance or hyperglycemia in certain contexts. However, in obesity and diabetes models, GIP receptor antagonists have shown beneficial effects, suggesting a favorable risk-benefit profile. Standard toxicology studies are required for therapeutic development. As a research compound, detailed toxicology data are not publicly available.
