GLP-3 (RT)
Acts on three receptors at once
In plain terms
GLP-3 (RT) is a synthetic peptide that acts on the GLP-1, GIP and glucagon receptors together — most peptides in this family act on only one. Published trials have studied compounds in this class for effects on blood sugar regulation and body weight. Sold here strictly as a reference standard for laboratory use.
Research overview
GLP-3 (RT) is a synthetic triple agonist acting on the GLP-1, GIP and glucagon receptors simultaneously. Research interest comes from whether engaging all three does something the single- and dual-receptor compounds do not. It is the newest of the class and the literature is correspondingly thinner.
What has been studied
- 1
Three receptors at once
GLP-3 (RT) acts on the GLP-1, GIP and glucagon receptors simultaneously. Research interest comes from the idea that engaging all three does something the single-receptor compounds do not.
- 2
Metabolic models
Animal studies have measured blood glucose handling, food intake and body composition.

Compared against the class
Most of the published work sets it against single- and dual-receptor agonists in the same models, which is why researchers commonly order more than one of the class.
