Retatrutide research profile
What is being studied?
Retatrutide (LY3437943) is an engineered single peptide with agonist activity at the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, glucagon-like peptide-1 and glucagon receptors. This three-receptor profile makes it a reference compound for multi-agonist receptor pharmacology.
Structural and signalling studies have examined how retatrutide is recognised by GIPR, GLP-1R and GCGR in receptor-Gs complexes. Laboratory applications include receptor binding, cAMP-response and pathway-bias comparisons; results must be interpreted within the tested model.
Research areas
- Comparative GIPR, GLP-1R and GCGR binding and activation assays
- cAMP and Gs-coupled signalling measurements
- Structural comparison of single-, dual- and triple-agonist peptide designs
