Retatrutide
A triple-agonist compound that activates GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors.
Retatrutide is a synthetic single-chain peptide agonist of the GLP-1, GIP and glucagon receptors (tri-agonist), used as a reference material in incretin-receptor and metabolic-signaling research.
Activates 3 key metabolic receptors: GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon
Research shows stronger metabolic effects than single or dual-agonists
CAS 2381089-83-2
GLP-1 / GIP / glucagon receptor tri-agonist peptide
- Mechanism
Scientific Mechanism
Receptor activation triggers downstream cAMP signaling that modulates insulin secretion, gastric emptying, and satiety signaling in in-vitro and animal models.
- Mechanism detail
How It Works
Retatrutide activates three receptors simultaneously:
glp1:
GLP-1: receptor/pathway activity studied in in-vitro signaling models
gip:
GIP: receptor/pathway activity studied in in-vitro signaling models
glucagon:
Glucagon: receptor/pathway activity studied in in-vitro signaling models
- Research evidence
