Powder Description
Hexarelin (Hex) is a synthetic small peptide growth hormone-releasing peptide analog, a modified derivative of GHRP-6 with beneficial effects on lipid metabolism via the CD36receptor, shows cardioprotective effects both in vivo and in vitro (via GHS-R1a).It is chemically more stable and functionally more potent when compared with ghrelin, which has been shown to protect cardiomyocytes from ischemia-reperfusion processes. Storage Guidelines
Normally, this peptide will be delivered in lyophilized form and should be stored in a freezer at or below -20 °C. For more details, please refer to the manual: Handling and Storage of Synthetic Peptides References

PMID: 34066741; PMCID: PMC8150489. About TFA salt
Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is a common counterion from the purification process using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The presence of TFA can affect the peptide's net weight, appearance, and solubility.
Impact on Net Weight: The TFA salt contributes to the total mass of the product. In most cases, the peptide content constitutes >80% of the total weight, with TFA accounting for the remainder.
Solubility: TFA salts generally enhance the solubility of peptides in aqueous solutions.
In Biological Assays: For most standard in vitro assays, the residual TFA levels do not cause interference. However, for highly sensitive cellular or biochemical studies, please be aware of its presence.
