The complete theoretical sequence of TG103 contains 286 amino acids (see Figure below for details). The sequence of GLP-1 is from amino acid position 1 to position 31. The IgD sequence is from amino acid position 32 to 79 (orange and pink), a total of 48 amino acids, including a N - terminal hinge region (orange) and CH2-N terminal region (Pink); The IgG4 sequence is from amino acid position 80 to position 286, including CH2-C terminal (green) and CH3 region (blue).

Hinge region of IgD and CH2-N terminal, IgG4 CH2-C terminal and CH3 region are fused to constitute a hybrid Fc ( HyFc) fragment, which is ligated to GLP-1 to form a TG103 molecular (GLP-1-hyFc).
