GHRP-6 Acetate

SKU 3757 Category

$33.42

GHRP-6 Acetate is a synthetic hexapeptide and selective agonist of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R1a), designed for research into GH secretion, appetite regulation, and metabolic adaptation. Distinct for its strong orexigenic effect, GHRP-6 mimics ghrelin activity to stimulate pulsatile growth hormone release independent of GHRH pathways, supporting studies on muscle anabolism, fat metabolism, and inflammatory response modulation.

Supplied as a lyophilized acetate salt, GHRP-6 Acetate is optimized for sterility, stability, and extended shelf life. Provided in a 3mL vial, this peptide is suitable for research involving GH/IGF-1 axis dynamics, feeding behavior, and hypothalamic-pituitary signaling.

Solubility: GHRP-6 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-6 Acetate

Chemical Name: Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-6 (GHRP-6) Acetate
Molecular Formula: C₄₆H₅₆N₁₂O₆
Molecular Weight: ~873.01 g/mol
CAS Number: 87616-84-0

Sequence:
His-D-Trp-Ala-Trp-D-Phe-Lys-NHβ‚‚

Structural Characteristics:
GHRP-6 is a synthetic hexapeptide and potent agonist of the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a). It stimulates endogenous growth hormone release through a mechanism independent of GHRH. Compared to GHRP-2, GHRP-6 is also known to enhance appetite via hypothalamic activity.

Mechanism of Action (Research Context):
GHRP-6 binds to the ghrelin receptor to promote GH secretion and influence appetite-regulating pathways. Research applications include:

  • GH release and endocrine axis research
  • Cachexia, muscle wasting, and metabolic syndrome models
  • Appetite stimulation and energy homeostasis investigations

Synthesis and Quality Control:

  • Produced via solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS)
  • Purified to β‰₯98% by HPLC
  • Identity confirmed by Mass Spectrometry (MS)

Product Details:

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

Solubility:
GHRP-6 Acetate is soluble in sterile water, dilute acetic acid, or aqueous buffers at pH 5–7.

Storage & Handling:

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

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