Description:
GHRP-2 is a synthetic hexapeptide belonging to the growth hormone releasing peptide (GHRP) class. It functions as a potent ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a) agonist, stimulating growth hormone secretion in research models. In laboratory studies, it is widely used to investigate endocrine regulation, pulsatile GH release, and hypothalamic–pituitary axis signaling. Compared to other GHRPs, it shows strong GH-releasing activity with minimal effects on appetite pathways, making it valuable for focused metabolic and hormonal research applications.
Research Applications:
- Growth Hormone Secretion Studies: Used to examine pituitary GH release and receptor-mediated endocrine signaling.
- Hypothalamic–Pituitary Axis Research: Investigates regulation of hormone secretion and feedback mechanisms.
- Metabolic Hormone Signaling: Used in studies of energy metabolism, glucose regulation, and hormonal interaction pathways.
- Ghrelin Receptor Activity Research: Examines GHS-R1a activation and downstream intracellular signaling pathways.
Storage and Handling:
- Store at -20°C (long-term)
- Refrigerate at 2–8°C after reconstitution
- Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles
- Protect from light and moisture
Product Specifications:
