RTA GLP-3

GLP-R is a synthetic peptide analogue of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), designed to resist enzymatic degradation and enhance stability in experimental environments. It activates the GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R), a G-protein-coupled receptor found in various tissues. This receptor activation leads to intracellular signaling pathways relevant to energy regulation and other biological processes. GLP-R is available in three quantities (10mg, 20mg, 30mg) to accommodate diverse research protocols. For research use only. Not for human consumption.

GLP-R is a synthetic peptide analogue of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a 30-residue incretin hormone naturally secreted by intestinal L-cells in response to nutrient intake. Native GLP-1 has an extremely short half-life due to rapid degradation by dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4), and GLP-1 receptor agonist analogues are engineered with structural modifications to confer resistance to enzymatic cleavage and extend circulating activity in experimental systems. GLP-R binds to and activates the GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R), a class B G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) expressed on pancreatic beta cells, the central nervous system, cardiovascular tissue, and multiple peripheral organs. Receptor activation stimulates intracellular cAMP production and downstream PKA-dependent signaling, driving glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, glucagon suppression, and gastric motility regulation. In research settings, GLP-1R agonist peptides are widely used as molecular tools to study incretin biology, energy homeostasis, beta-cell function, and cardiometabolic signaling. This product is available in three quantities (10mg, 20mg, 30mg) to support flexible experimental dose-response protocols. For research use only. Not for human consumption.
