Description
Overview
Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide and selective growth hormone secretagogue used as a reference compound in laboratory research on the ghrelin / growth-hormone-secretagogue receptor (GHS-R).
Research Background
Ipamorelin has been studied in preclinical models examining growth-hormone release and the signaling of the GHS-R receptor. Published laboratory work has characterized its selectivity relative to other secretagogues, including its comparatively limited effect on other pituitary hormones such as cortisol and prolactin in animal models. Researchers have also examined its receptor-binding profile and stability as a short synthetic peptide. This material is supplied as a research reference compound; the information above describes the scientific literature only and does not describe or imply any effect in humans.
