INFORMATION
What is GHRP-6 (5mg)?
GHRP-6 (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-6) is a synthetic hexapeptide classified under endocrine research peptides, specifically as a growth hormone secretagogue (GHS). It is commonly studied for its interaction with the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R1a), also known as the ghrelin receptor.
In laboratory research, GHRP-6 is used to examine signaling pathways related to growth hormone release, receptor binding, and metabolic regulation. Its defined amino acid sequence and well-characterized receptor activity make it ideal for structured experimental studies in endocrine and metabolic research models.
Product Specifications
CAS Number: 87616-84-0 Peptide Sequence: His-D-Trp-Ala-Trp-D-Phe-Lys-NH2 Synonyms: GHRP6, Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-6 Chemical Formula: C46H56N12O6 Molecular Weight: 873.03 g/mol Purity: ≥99% Packaging Format: 5mg lyophilized vial Storage Conditions: Store 2–8 °C (≤–20 °C long-term). RT exposure during transport is acceptable. Protect from light. Designation: For Laboratory Research Use Only
Key Characteristics of GHRP-6 (5mg)
Synthetic hexapeptide with a defined and reproducible structure. High purity (≥99%) suitable for controlled laboratory experiments. Classified as a growth hormone secretagogue for endocrine pathway research. Commonly examined in receptor activation and peptide signaling studies. Supplied in lyophilized format for research flexibility. Requires low-temperature storage to maintain molecular stability. Not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical applications.
How GHRP-6 (5mg) Supports Research
GHRP-6 is widely used in laboratory settings to study receptor-mediated signaling in the growth hormone pathway. Interacting with the ghrelin receptor in experimental models, it helps researchers investigate hormone release patterns, receptor binding dynamics, and downstream cellular responses.
Its predictable structure and receptor specificity enable reproducible study designs in endocrine and metabolic research systems.
Research Applications & Usage Information
GHRP-6 (5mg) is commonly utilized in laboratory research involving:
Growth hormone signaling pathway studies Ghrelin receptor activation and binding assays Endocrine feedback loop modeling Peptide-receptor interaction analysis Metabolic regulation research models Comparative studies with other growth hormone secretagogues In vitro cell-based signaling investigations
This peptide is supplied exclusively for laboratory research and must be used in accordance with institutional safety and compliance guidelines.
Handling and Storage Recommendations
Store at -20°C Protect from direct light exposure Keep the vial tightly sealed when not in use Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles Handle using appropriate laboratory protective equipment Follow standard laboratory handling procedures
