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. 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. 2

    Metabolic models

    Animal studies have measured blood glucose handling, food intake and body composition.

  3. 3

    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.
