Growth hormone-releasing peptide-6 is the first synthetic hexapeptide studied in animal test subjects and a met-enkephalin derivative that contains a chain of 6 unnatural D amino acids with the sequence (His-D-Trp-Ala-Trp-D-Phe-Lys-NH2).
At Loti Labs, we pride ourselves on stocking high-quality research chemicals. Buy Ghrp-6 for sale only for research purposes and not for human consumption. It is available in lyophilized powder form in 5 mg vials.
WHAT IS GHRP-6
Growth hormone-releasing peptide-6 belongs to the family of the Human Growth Hormone secretagogue.
It binds to specific receptors present at the pituitary or hypothalamic level. Studies showed that GHRP-6 receptors are also present in peripheral tissues such as the heart, adrenal, ovary, testis, lung, and skeletal muscle.
STRUCTURE OF GHRP-6
Molecular Formula: C46H56N12O6
Molecular weight: 873 g/mol
CAS number: 87616-84-0
IUPAC name: (2S)-6-amino-2-[[(2R)-2-[[(2S)-2-[2-[[2-[[(2S)-2-amino-3-(1H-imidazol-5-yl)propanoyl]amino]-3-(1H-indol-3-yl)propanoyl]amino]propanoylamino]-3-(1H-indol-3-yl)propanoyl]amino]-3-phenylpropanoyl]amino]hexanamide
MECHANISM OF ACTION
Studies in animal test subjects show that GHRP-6 stimulates ghrelin which increases the production of growth hormone (GH) by acting at the level of the pituitary or hypothalamus through a specific receptor different from that of the endogenous Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone (GHRH).
The four important parts of the test subjects that demonstrate the role of GHRP-6 include the pituitary gland, central nervous system, liver, and stomach.
GHRP-6 EFFECTS
The theoretical benefits of GHRP-2 on animal test subjects show that it:
- Increases weight loss
- Increases lean muscle growth,
- Offers cardioprotection
- Improves recovery from injuries
GHRP-6 SIDE EFFECTS
Some of its theoretical side effects are:
- Increased appetite
- Nausea
- Headaches
- Dizziness
- Joint pain
- Fatigue
- Insomnia
- Increased blood pressure
