This high-purity GHRP-2 peptide (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide 2) is a second-generation growth hormone secretagogue (GHS) and a vital tool for the scientific community. It allows for in-depth investigation into the regulation of the growth hormone (GH) axis. As a synthetic analogue of ghrelin, GHRP-2 provides a reliable method to induce a potent, dose-dependent release of endogenous GH from the pituitary gland. This makes it an invaluable compound for researchers in endocrinology, gerontology, and metabolic studies.
Our commitment is to provide a meticulously purified and stable form of GHRP-2, ensuring that your experiments are based on a compound of the highest quality. This product is intended strictly for in-vitro and laboratory research applications, enabling precise and reproducible exploration of the somatotropic axis.
The Potent Mechanism of Our High-Purity GHRP-2 Peptide
GHRP-2’s efficacy lies in its specific and powerful mechanism of action. Unlike administering exogenous growth hormone, GHRP-2 works by stimulating the body’s own production, preserving the natural, pulsatile release pattern that is critical for many of its biological effects.
Activating the Ghrelin Receptor (GHSR)
The primary mechanism of GHRP-2 is its function as an agonist of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR-1a), also known as the ghrelin receptor.
- Pituitary and Hypothalamic Action: By binding to these receptors in the anterior pituitary gland and the hypothalamus, GHRP-2 mimics the action of ghrelin, the body’s natural ligand for this receptor.
- Stimulation of GH Release: This binding initiates a signal transduction cascade that results in the synthesis and release of a strong pulse of growth hormone. Unlike its predecessor GHRP-6, GHRP-2 accomplishes this with minimal effect on appetite.
Synergistic Potential with GHRH Analogues
One of the most significant areas of research involving our high-purity GHRP-2 peptide is its synergistic relationship with Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) analogues, such as Modified GRF 1-29.
- Dual-Pathway Stimulation: GHRP-2 and GHRH act on different receptors and pathways to stimulate GH release. When studied together, they produce a synergistic effect, releasing a pulse of GH that is far greater than the additive effect of either peptide alone.
- Research Applications: This synergy allows scientists to investigate the maximum secretory capacity of the pituitary gland and to study the complex interplay between the ghrelin and GHRH signaling pathways.
Purity and Quality for Reliable Endocrine Research
In endocrinology research, purity is paramount. Even small amounts of contaminants can alter sensitive hormonal feedback loops and invalidate results. We ensure the quality of our high-purity GHRP-2 peptide through:
- Precise Synthesis: Building the hexapeptide (D-Ala-D-2-Nal-Ala-Trp-D-Phe-Lys-NH2) using advanced solid-phase peptide synthesis.
- HPLC Purification: Purifying every batch with high-performance liquid chromatography to achieve a purity level exceeding 99%.
- Mass Spectrometry Verification: Confirming the correct molecular weight and identity of the peptide.
- Lyophilization: Supplying the peptide in a stable, freeze-dried powder form to guarantee its integrity and shelf-life.
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
What is GHRP-2?
GHRP-2 (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide 2) is a synthetic hexapeptide that belongs to a class of drugs called growth hormone secretagogues. It is a research chemical used to stimulate the pituitary gland’s release of endogenous growth hormone.
How does GHRP-2 work to release growth hormone?
GHRP-2 acts as an agonist for the ghrelin receptor (GHSR-1a) in the pituitary and hypothalamus. By binding to this receptor, it mimics the natural hormone ghrelin, triggering a strong, pulsatile release of growth hormone.
What is the difference between GHRP-2 and GHRP-6?
Both are growth hormone releasing peptides that act on the ghrelin receptor. However, GHRP-2 is generally considered more potent in stimulating GH release on a microgram-for-microgram basis. A key difference is that GHRP-6 is well-known for causing a significant increase in appetite, whereas GHRP-2 has a much weaker effect on hunger.
What is the purity of your high-purity GHRP-2 peptide?
Our GHRP-2 peptide is guaranteed to be >99% pure. We verify this with High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) for every batch, and a Certificate of Analysis (COA) is available.
What is the amino acid sequence of GHRP-2?
The sequence is D-Alaninyl-3-(2-naphthalenyl)-D-alanyl-L-alanyl-L-tryptophyl-D-phenylalanyl-L-lysinamide, often abbreviated as D-Ala-D-2-Nal-Ala-Trp-D-Phe-Lys-NH2.
Is this product intended for human use?
Absolutely not. This product is a chemical for research and laboratory use ONLY. It is not approved for human or veterinary use and should never be consumed or used for personal purposes.
