Retatrutide
Formula: C221H342N46O68
Molecular Weight: ~4731.33 g/mol (exact mass ~4728.47 Da)
Type: Synthetic peptide, 39 amino acids long
CAS Number: 2381089-83-2
Function: Targets GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors (triple agonist).
Retatrutide is a single peptide that acts as an agonist for three different hormone receptors simultaneously:
GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide-1): Stimulates insulin release, slows gastric emptying, and suppresses appetite.
GIP (Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide): Increases insulin release, aids in fat metabolism, and further reduces food intake.
Glucagon: Promotes increased energy expenditure and fat burning (lipolysis).
By combining these actions, retatrutide offers a more comprehensive approach to weight management and glucose control compared to single or dual-agonist therapies.
