GHRP-2 10mg

Description

GHRP-2 Acetate

Chemical Name: Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-2 (GHRP-2) Acetate
Molecular Formula: C₄₅H₅₅N₉O₆
Molecular Weight: ~817.97 g/mol
CAS Number: 158861-67-7

Sequence:
D-Ala-D-2-Nal-Ala-Trp-D-Phe-Lys-NH₂
(2-Nal = 2-naphthylalanine)

Structural Characteristics:
GHRP-2 is a synthetic hexapeptide belonging to the growth hormone secretagogue (GHS) family. It functions as a potent ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a) agonist and stimulates pulsatile release of endogenous growth hormone without significantly affecting ACTH or cortisol levels.

Mechanism of Action (Research Context):
GHRP-2 binds to the ghrelin receptor in the hypothalamus and pituitary, enhancing growth hormone release and amplifying pituitary response to GHRH. Applications include:

• Investigations into GH signaling and endocrine regulation
• Research on body composition, appetite, and energy homeostasis
• Anti-aging and muscle-wasting model studies

Synthesis and Quality Control:

• Synthesized via solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS)
• Purity ≥98% by HPLC
• Identity verified by Mass Spectrometry (MS)

Product Details:

• Form: Lyophilized acetate salt
• Appearance: White to off-white powder

Solubility:
GHRP-2 Acetate is soluble in sterile water, dilute acetic acid, or aqueous buffers at pH 5–7.

Storage & Handling:

• Store lyophilized powder at –20°C, protected from light and moisture.
• After reconstitution, store at 2–8°C for up to 30 days.
• For extended storage, aliquot and freeze at –20°C.
• Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
