What is GHRP-2?
GHRP-2 (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-2) is a high-purity synthetic hexapeptide designed exclusively for laboratory research. This potent growth hormone secretagogue stimulates the release of growth hormone (GH) by acting on ghrelin receptors in the pituitary gland, making it an essential tool for studying the somatotropic axis and metabolic regulation. Supplied as a lyophilized powder for reconstitution, GHRP-2 provides researchers with a reliable compound to investigate endocrine signaling pathways.

Research Applications:
GHRP-2 is widely used in preclinical studies to explore its effects on GH secretion, appetite regulation, and tissue growth in cellular and animal models. Research focuses on its role in stimulating pituitary GH release, which influences protein synthesis, muscle development, and lipid metabolism. Studies also investigate its potential to modulate energy balance and neuroendocrine responses, offering insights into mechanisms underlying growth disorders, metabolic syndromes, and GH-related signaling pathways.
