Description
Overview:
GHRP-2 is a synthetic peptide consisting of six amino acids, specifically engineered to stimulate the secretion of growth hormone (GH) from the anterior pituitary gland. As a growth hormone releasing peptide (GHRP), it is significant in various physiological studies related to growth, metabolism, and tissue repair.
Chemical Structure:
• Sequence: His-D-2-Ala-Trp-D-Phe-Lys-NH2
• Molecular Weight: 817.94 g/mol
• Purity: Typically >98% by HPLC
Mechanism of Action:
GHRP-2 interacts with specific receptors in the pituitary gland, leading to the release of GH in a pulsatile manner. This process is mediated through ghrelin receptor pathways, contributing to elevated levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in the bloodstream, which is crucial for understanding growth and metabolic functions
