Triple Regulator TIA-39-C20 | 39-Amino Acid Triagonist Peptide | Azoth
What Is Triple Regulator TIA-39-C20?
Triple Regulator TIA-39-C20 is a synthetic 39-amino acid acylated peptide engineered from a GIP peptide backbone, designed for research into simultaneous activation of three distinct receptor pathways: the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R), the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR), and the glucagon receptor (GCGR). With a molecular formula of C221H342N46O68 and a molecular weight of 4731.33 g/mol (CAS 2381089-83-2), this compound represents one of the most structurally complex peptides currently available for laboratory investigation into multi-receptor signaling. The molecule incorporates non-coded amino acid substitutions, including Aib residues and alpha-methyl leucine, alongside a C20 fatty diacid moiety attached via a linker to a lysine residue. This long-chain fatty acid moiety confers albumin binding, extending the plasma half-life to approximately 6 days in preclinical pharmacokinetic models. At Azoth, we offer Triple Regulator TIA-39-C20 synthesized to ≥99% purity, intended exclusively for licensed researchers and laboratory professionals investigating multi-receptor metabolic signaling.
How Does Triple Regulator TIA-39-C20 Work? Three Receptor Pathways Explored
Unlike single-target or dual-target peptides, Triple Regulator TIA-39-C20 is studied for its unimolecular triagonist profile, meaning a single molecule engages three separate receptor systems concurrently in preclinical models.
GLP-1 Receptor Signaling
GLP-1R activation slows gastric emptying through vagal efferent pathways, extending postprandial satiety and blunting postprandial glucose excursions in preclinical models. In pancreatic beta cell models, GLP-1R agonism potentiates glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and inhibits glucagon secretion from alpha cells, offering researchers a model system for studying coordinated endocrine pancreas signaling. [1, 2]
GIP Receptor Signaling
Research into the GIP receptor component has focused on adipocyte-level signaling. Preclinical models suggest GIPR activation contributes to adipose tissue remodeling patterns distinct from GLP-1R activation alone, providing researchers a comparative framework for studying incretin receptor crosstalk in fat tissue models. [3, 4]
Glucagon Receptor Signaling and Adipose Tissue
The glucagon receptor component differentiates this triagonist class from dual-agonist peptides. Selective glucagon receptor co-agonism alongside GLP-1 and GIP receptor activation has been studied for additive effects on liver fat oxidation and thermogenesis in preclinical models, an area of particular interest to researchers studying brown and white adipose tissue function. [5, 6]
Adipose Tissue Remodeling at the Molecular Level
In high-fat diet-induced obesity mouse models, multi-omic profiling has identified coordinated reprogramming of white adipose tissue, including suppressed lipogenesis, enhanced fatty acid oxidation and mitochondrial function, restored peroxisomal activity, and downregulated inflammatory and fibrotic pathways, alongside upregulated angiogenic and reparative signaling. This multi-pathway remodeling profile makes the compound a focal point for researchers studying tissue-level metabolic adaptation in animal models. [6, 7]
