GHRP-2 Acetate

SKU 3755 Category

$31.01

GHRP-2 Acetate is a synthetic hexapeptide and potent growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R1a) agonist, engineered for research into GH release dynamics, appetite stimulation, and pituitary function. Acting independently of GHRH pathways, GHRP-2 activates ghrelin receptors to stimulate pulsatile GH secretion and support investigations into anabolic signaling, body composition, and energy metabolism.

Supplied as a lyophilized acetate salt, GHRP-2 Acetate is optimized for sterility, stability, and extended shelf life. Provided in a 3mL vial, this secretagogue is ideal for studies exploring GH/IGF-1 axis modulation, orexigenic effects, and hypothalamic-pituitary function.

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

For laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary applications.

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.

Disclaimer:
For research use only. Not for human or veterinary use. Not for diagnostic or therapeutic applications.
