Description
GHRP-6 is a growth hormone secretagogue hexapeptide used in controlled in-vitro studies of ghrelin/secretagogue receptor (GHSR-1a) signalling, including Gq/PLC/IP3/Ca2+ pathways and downstream assay readouts under non-clinical laboratory conditions.
GHRP-6
This cyclic amide hexapeptide (sequence: His–D-Trp–Ala–Trp–D-Phe–Lys-NH2) is commonly selected to explore receptor engagement, second-messenger dynamics, and structure–activity relationships within the GH axis in model systems. For laboratory research only. Not for human use.

Growth hormone secretagogue for in-vitro GHSR-1a receptor pharmacology studies.
Supplied as a lyophilised solid for stability and straightforward storage.
Unit size: 10 mg per vial.
Each batch released only after stringent quality checks
Specifications
Product name: GHRP-6
Synonyms: Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-6; GHSR agonist
Sequence (one-letter): H–D-W–A–W–D-F–K–NH2
Class: Hexapeptide secretagogue (ghrelin/secretagogue receptor agonist)

Handling & storage
Storage (dry): Keep vials protected from light and moisture.
Reconstitution: Bring vial and diluent to room temperature. Reconstitute with Bacteriostatic Water 10 ml. Swirl gently — do not vortex.
After reconstitution: Store at 2–8 °C, protect from light, use aliquots to reduce handling, and avoid repeated temperature cycling.
Compatibility: Use only within research protocols that follow your lab’s SOPs and local regulations.

About GHRP-6 in research
Researchers use GHRP-6 to probe GHSR-1a receptor engagement, map second-messenger responses (e.g., PLC/IP3/Ca2+), and characterise structure–activity relationships in cell-based assays. These studies focus on receptor pharmacology and pathway modelling exclusively in controlled, non-clinical in-vitro environments.
Synthesis & quality
Manufactured via controlled, validated peptide-synthesis processes to deliver high purity and lot-to-lot consistency. Each batch undergoes identity, purity, and appearance checks before release.
Legal & safety
XL Peptides supplies materials strictly for laboratory research. Products are not medications, foods, supplements, or cosmetics; not for human or veterinary use. By purchasing, you confirm you are a qualified researcher and will handle the material in line with your institution’s policies and applicable laws.
