GLP3-R (Retatrutide)
Triple-agonist research peptide targeting GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon receptors for advanced metabolic studies.
Description
Triple-agonist research peptide targeting GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon receptors for advanced metabolic studies.
Retatrutide is a first-in-class triple-agonist peptide that simultaneously activates glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and glucagon receptors. Its mechanism of action involves binding all three receptor systems to modulate appetite signaling, glucose homeostasis, and energy expenditure through complementary metabolic pathways. In a phase 2 clinical trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine (Jastreboff et al., 2023), participants receiving 12 mg of retatrutide achieved a mean body weight reduction of approximately 24.2% at 48 weeks, surpassing results observed with dual-agonist compounds like tirzepatide. The glucagon receptor component is believed to contribute additional energy expenditure and hepatic lipid metabolism benefits not seen with GLP-1-only or GIP/GLP-1 dual agonists. Compared to semaglutide (GLP-1 only) and tirzepatide (GIP/GLP-1 dual), retatrutide represents an expansion of the incretin-based approach by incorporating glucagon receptor activation, which studies suggest enhances thermogenesis and fat oxidation. For research use, the lyophilized powder should be stored at -20C and reconstituted with bacteriostatic water immediately before use; reconstituted solutions remain stable under refrigeration at 2-8C for up to 28 days. This compound is primarily investigated by academic metabolic research centers, pharmaceutical R&D divisions, and endocrinology laboratories studying multi-receptor agonism as a strategy for metabolic syndrome research.
