Product Overview
GHRP-2, also known scientifically as Pralmorelin, is a synthetic hexapeptide (a chain of six amino acids). It belongs to the class of Growth Hormone Secretagogues (GHS) and acts as a potent agonist of the ghrelin receptor.
Unlike endogenous Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH), which possesses a longer amino acid chain, GHRP-2 is a small, non-glycosylated molecule. It is widely used in neuroendocrine research to understand the regulation of pulsatile hormone secretion.
This product is strictly intended for laboratory research and in vitro use only. It is not a medicine, food, or cosmetic product and is not intended for human consumption or injection.
Research Mechanism and Applications
In laboratory settings, GHRP-2 is utilized to study the GHS-R1a (Growth Hormone Secretagogue Receptor). By binding to this receptor, the peptide mimics the action of ghrelin, the "hunger hormone."
Researchers utilizing this peptide in controlled experimental models investigate the following biological mechanisms:
- Pituitary Stimulation: GHRP-2 is used to study the stimulation of the anterior pituitary gland, specifically observing the release of growth hormone via a pathway distinct from GHRH.
- Signal Transduction: Research focuses on the peptide's ability to activate the phospholipase C (PLC) and protein kinase C (PKC) pathways, leading to intracellular calcium mobilization.
- Synergistic Studies: It is frequently co-administered in research settings with GHRH analogues (like CJC-1295) to observe potential synergistic effects on hormone amplitude and pulse frequency.
