Peptide record

GHRP-2

Function

GHRP-2 is a Hormone peptide.

This Peptide is used in research to induce robust GH pulses and study anabolic and metabolic effects; clinically developed as pralmorelin for GH deficiency diagnostics6272

Mechanism

GHRP-2 is a second-generation hexapeptide growth hormone–releasing peptide that mimics ghrelin by agonizing GHSR-1a, strongly stimulating pulsatile GH release and modestly raising prolactin, ACTH, and cortisol62723096

GHRP-2 is a Receptor agonist.

Receptor

Ghrelin/growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR-1a) 309596104

Length

6 amino acids
