IPAMORELIN

Description

This product contains ipamorelin, a 5-amino-acid growth hormone secretagogue produced under controlled synthetic conditions for research use. The peptide is supplied as a lyophilised solid with sequence integrity confirmed prior to release. It is widely used in pharmacology research as a selective probe of the ghrelin-receptor pathway.

Ipamorelin acts at the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R1a), and its design favours specificity over potency: published work characterises a minimal effect at the prolactin, ACTH, and cortisol-related axes that complicate broader peptide agonists. This selectivity makes ipamorelin a useful tool for studying isolated growth-hormone-axis signalling without confounding endocrine activity.

Research applications include:

• Receptor binding and selectivity profiling at GHS-R1a versus related GPCRs
• Ex-vivo pituitary culture work measuring growth hormone release
• Comparative studies with other ghrelin-receptor agonists or antagonists
• Combination protocols with GHRH analogues for synergy modelling
• Signalling cascade studies (PLC, IP3, intracellular calcium release)
