What is GLP-2 (Triz)?

GLP-2 (Triz) (development code LY3298176, often called a "twincretin") is a synthetic single-molecule dual agonist that activates two incretin hormone receptors at once — the GIP receptor and the GLP-1 receptor. A C20 fatty-diacid moiety enables reversible serum-albumin binding and a markedly extended half-life relative to native incretins, and the balanced dual-receptor activity is what distinguishes it from single GLP-1 agonists like GLP-1 (Sema) and from the triple agonist GLP-3 (Reta).

Research areas where laboratories buy GLP-2 (Triz) for in vitro work include GIP- and GLP-1-receptor binding and cAMP-accumulation assays in receptor-expressing cells, glucose-dependent insulin-secretion studies in pancreatic beta-cell models, comparative single- versus dual-incretin agonist pharmacology, metabolic-flux research in rodent models, and albumin-binding and half-life characterization of fatty-acylated incretin analogs.

GLP-2 (Triz) Mechanism of Action

  • Acts as a balanced agonist at both the GIP and GLP-1 incretin receptors — the basis for the "twincretin" classification.
  • Engages Gαs / adenylyl-cyclase / cAMP signaling at each receptor in receptor-expressing cell models.
  • Potentiates glucose-dependent insulin secretion in pancreatic beta-cell models.
  • Modulates glucagon dynamics and downstream metabolic-flux readouts in cell and rodent systems.
  • Carries a C20 fatty-diacid moiety that enables reversible serum-albumin binding and an extended half-life relative to native incretins.
  • Serves as the reference dual-incretin tool compound for comparing single- versus dual-receptor pharmacology.

GLP-2 (Triz) Research Applications

  • GIP and GLP-1 receptor binding and cAMP-accumulation assays in receptor-expressing cells, where GLP-2 (Triz) is the standard reference dual agonist.
  • Glucose-dependent insulin-secretion studies in pancreatic beta-cell models.
  • Comparative single- versus dual-incretin agonist pharmacology, run alongside GLP-1 (Sema) (single) and GLP-3 (Reta) (triple) to dissect receptor-specific effects.
  • Metabolic-flux rodent research models.
  • Albumin-binding and half-life characterization of fatty-acylated incretin analogs.
  • Structure-activity studies of dual-receptor incretin peptides.

Why Buy GLP-2 (Triz) from Koi Peptides?

  • Every batch of Koi GLP-2 (Triz) is synthesized and lyophilized in the United States, then released against independent third-party laboratory (Freedom Diagnostics Testing) testing.
  • Each lot is tested by HPLC for purity, LC-MS for identity confirmation, and screened for endotoxin before release.
  • The lot ID is printed on every vial and ties back to a public COA library, so researchers can verify documentation before they buy and after the vial arrives.
  • Orders placed before 2 PM CT ship the same business day, and shipping is free on orders over $200.

Frequently Asked Questions About GLP-2 (Triz)

What is GLP-2 (Triz) used for in research?+
GLP-2 (Triz) is the reference dual GIP/GLP-1 incretin-receptor agonist for studying dual-receptor pharmacology, glucose-dependent insulin secretion, and metabolic flux. In vitro studies use it in receptor-activation assays, pancreatic beta-cell models, and comparative single- versus dual-agonist experiments. Comparative work pairs it against GLP-1 (Sema) (single agonist) and GLP-3 (Reta) (triple agonist) to isolate the GIP-receptor contribution.
What purity is Koi's GLP-2 (Triz)?+
Koi GLP-2 (Triz) is ≥99% pure by HPLC (latest released lot 99.88%), with identity confirmed by LC-MS. Every lot is released against independent third-party laboratory (Freedom Diagnostics Testing) testing covering HPLC purity, LC-MS identity, net content, heavy metals, sterility, and endotoxin, and the COA is published against the lot number printed on the vial.
How do I prepare a GLP-2 (Triz) solution?+
Dissolve in sterile water or a suitable buffer at neutral pH. Add diluent slowly down the vial wall rather than onto the cake, and avoid vortexing. Prepare working dilutions immediately before use, and for sterile cell-culture work filter through a 0.22 µm low-protein-binding filter. Store prepared solutions at 2 to 8 °C, or aliquot and freeze at −20 °C or below.
What is the CAS number for GLP-2 (Triz)?+
The CAS number for GLP-2 (Triz) is 2023788-19-2. It is also cataloged under the Eli Lilly development code LY3298176 and nicknamed the "twincretin." It is a fatty-acylated 39-amino-acid dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist with a molecular weight of approximately 4813.5 g/mol.
Is GLP-2 (Triz) for human use?+
No. GLP-2 (Triz) is for laboratory and research use only and is not for human consumption. It is sold exclusively to qualified researchers and licensed laboratories.
How should GLP-2 (Triz) be stored?+
Store the lyophilized powder at −20 °C, desiccated and protected from light; for long-term storage −80 °C is preferred. Minimize handling time outside the freezer. Once dissolved, store at 2 to 8 °C or aliquot and freeze. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, which can promote aggregation in lipidated peptides.
How does GLP-2 (Triz) compare with GLP-1 (Sema) and GLP-3 (Reta) as a research tool?+
GLP-1 (Sema) is a single GLP-1 receptor agonist, GLP-2 (Triz) is a dual GLP-1R/GIPR agonist, and GLP-3 (Reta) adds glucagon-receptor activity to become a triple GLP-1R/GIPR/GCGR agonist. Researchers studying receptor-specific contributions often run all three compounds in parallel to isolate the activity of each individual receptor in incretin and metabolic signaling networks.
