Cryo-EM structure of the dual incretin receptor agonist, peptide-19, in complex with the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor

Dual agonists that can activate both the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) and the gastric inhibitory polypeptide receptor (GIPR) have demonstrated high efficacy for the treatment of metabolic disease. Peptide-19 is a prototypical dual agonist that has high potency at both GLP-1R and GIPR but has a distinct signalling profile relative to the native peptides at the cognate receptors. In this study, we solved the structure of peptide-19...
