Ipamorelin (Aib-His-D-2Nal-D-Phe-Lys-NH2) is a synthetic pentapeptide growth hormone secretagogue acting at the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a). It is distinguished from earlier GHRP-class compounds by its selectivity: in published models it stimulates growth hormone release with minimal effect on ACTH and cortisol.
Research Applications
Research applications include GHS-R1a binding and signalling assays, pulsatile growth hormone release models, selectivity comparisons against GHRP-2 and GHRP-6, and combination studies with GHRH analogues such as Modified GRF (1-29).
