Essential Amino’s , a synthetic pentapeptide, is available in 10mg lyophilized powder vials, with each batch third-party tested to verify purity, authenticity, and consistency for research applications.
is a synthetic pentapeptide with the sequence . Classified as a growth hormone secretagogue (GHS), it functions as a selective agonist of the ghrelin / growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R1a) in scientific research models. In laboratory and in vitro studies, it selectively targets GHS-R1a to evaluate growth hormone (GH) signaling dynamics. Known in peptide research for high target specificity, its administration in trial models does not demonstrate significant cross-reactivity with ACTH, cortisol, or prolactin release channels, making it a valuable subject for investigating isolated pituitary receptor mechanisms.
A synthetic 5-amino acid peptide that acts as a selective ghrelin/growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R) agonist used to study receptor kinetics and pituitary signaling pathways.
How does differ from other growth hormone secretagogues?
In comparative laboratory studies, it demonstrates higher selectivity than earlier GHS compounds such as GHRP-2 or GHRP-6, stimulating target receptors without altering off-target hormone levels like cortisol or prolactin. is a GHRH.
What is the molecular weight and formula?
The chemical formula is C38H49N9O5 and a molecular weight of 711.86 g/mol, registered under CAS #170851-70-4.
What is the reported half-life of in scientific literature?
In published pharmacokinetic and experimental models, it exhibits a terminal elimination half-life of approximately 2 hours.
What subjects are investigated using in research literature?
Research literature focuses on evaluating in contexts such as receptor binding affinity, pituitary secretion dynamics, bone mineral density models, and gastrointestinal motility pathways.
