A third docking point, named in records about compounds designed to act at more than one receptor at the same time.

The third lock, for compounds built to fit several.

How the research records put it

The glucagon receptor is the third receptor targeted by the triple agonists in this class. Retatrutide is reported in its 2023 Lancet trial report as a GIP, GLP-1 and glucagon receptor agonist.[1]

That paragraph is the reference wording, carried unchanged, with the record it came from. The plain sentence above it is this publication speaking, and it carries no citation because it adds nothing the reference wording does not hold.
