For In Vitro Research Use Only
Not for Human or Veterinary Application
Product Overview
RT is a synthetic acylated peptide functioning as a triple receptor agonist at the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor, and glucagon (GCG) receptor. It represents a next-generation incretin-based research compound designed to probe the combined physiological effects of simultaneous tri-receptor activation on metabolic homeostasis. RT is studied in preclinical research contexts involving energy expenditure, hepatic lipid metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and the interplay between incretin and glucagon signaling axes.

Research Context
RT activates GLP-1R, GIPR, and the glucagon receptor (GCGR) — three class B GPCRs involved in distinct but overlapping metabolic regulatory pathways including insulin secretion, gluconeogenesis suppression, lipolysis, and thermogenesis. Research with RT as a pharmacological probe has examined the additive and synergistic effects of tri-receptor co-activation on hepatic glucose production, adipose tissue fatty acid oxidation, and hypothalamic energy sensing circuits. The inclusion of GCGR agonism distinguishes RT from dual incretin agonists and enables research into how glucagon receptor signaling modulates outcomes when combined with incretin receptor co-stimulation. It is also studied in the context of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) models and lipid clearance mechanisms in vitro.
