What is GLP-3 RTA and what is TB-500?
GLP-3 RTA is classified as Synthetic triple-agonist peptide; TB-500 as Thymosin β4 fragment · tissue-repair research. Both profiles below cover scientific identity only — what the molecule is and which laboratory models it appears in. Verve supplies both strictly as in-vitro reference materials, and neither profile describes human or veterinary use.
GLP-3 RTA
Synthetic triple-agonist peptide
GLP-3 RTA is a synthetic single-chain peptide engineered to act at three related class B G-protein-coupled receptors at once: the GLP-1 receptor, the GIP receptor, and the glucagon receptor. Its backbone is derived from the incretin peptide family and carries a fatty-acid modification that extends plasma half-life in pre-clinical systems, making it a widely cited reference agonist in incretin-receptor research.

Thymosin β4 fragment · tissue-repair research
TB-500 is a synthetic 43-amino-acid peptide corresponding to an active fragment of thymosin beta-4, a naturally-occurring actin-binding protein. Verve supplies it as a high-purity research compound for tissue-repair and cellular research.
full TB-500 profile →Which research models is each compound studied in?
GLP-3 RTA sits in weight & metabolic research and TB-500 in recovery & gut research, so their listed models largely do not intersect. The table lists 5 reported research applications for GLP-3 RTA and 4 for TB-500. Rows are per compound, not equivalences.
