Function
Hexarelin is a Hormone peptide.
This Peptide is investigated for effects on GH secretion, cardiac protection, and muscle metabolism, with higher GH secretory potency than earlier GHRPs1929
Peptide record
Hexarelin
Peptide record
Hexarelin
Mechanism
Hexarelin is a potent synthetic hexapeptide (examorelin) that agonizes GHSR-1a to stimulate GH release and also binds CD36, influencing cardiovascular and metabolic pathways19212996
Hexarelin is a Receptor agonist.
Receptor
Primary: GHSR-1a (ghrelin receptor); also binds the scavenger receptor CD36 in vascular and macrophage tissues192129
