Retatrutide Mechanism of Action (Triple Agonism)

July 30, 2026

Retatrutide is studied as a triple agonist, engaging three receptors — GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon. It is the most receptor-diverse compound in the incretin research class.

Three pathways at once

Adding glucagon-receptor activity to the two incretin receptors gives researchers a model for how multiple metabolic pathways interact when engaged simultaneously. See the incretin receptors explained and how it sits within the class.
