R3TA

Description

What it is

R3TA is a synthetic peptide investigated as an agonist at three receptors: the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor, the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor, and the glucagon receptor. That triple activity is what distinguishes it from single- and dual-agonist peptides in the same family.

Research context

Studied in metabolic and endocrine research as a tool for examining incretin receptor signalling and cross-receptor activity. It is an active area of published investigation and is not an approved product.

Handling

Supplied lyophilised in a sealed 3 mL vial. Store sealed vials refrigerated and protected from light. Reconstitute with an appropriate sterile diluent immediately before use and keep reconstituted material cold. Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles.

Research use only. Not for human or veterinary use, and not for diagnostic or therapeutic application.
