Retatrutide is a synthetic peptide made up of 39 amino acids. It is a triple receptor agonist, or tri-agonist, meaning it activates the GLP-1, GIP and glucagon receptors. Each of these receptors plays a different role in hormone signaling and the regulation of metabolism.
Researchers study retatrutide to better understand how these three pathways work together to regulate blood sugar, appetite and energy use. Its activity is also of interest in research into insulin resistance and how cells respond to insulin.
