Ipamorelin Description
Ipamorelin is a synthetic peptide studied extensively as a growth hormone secretagogue in laboratory research. This compound belongs to the growth hormone-releasing peptide (GHRP) class and serves as a research tool for examining pituitary receptor interactions and growth hormone release mechanisms.
Ipamorelin is a pentapeptide (composed of 5 amino acids) that functions as a ghrelin mimetic in experimental models. Developed in the 1990s for research applications, this compound demonstrates selective growth hormone release properties without affecting other pituitary hormones, distinguishing it from earlier-generation peptides in laboratory studies.
The compound shows high specificity for the GHS-R1a receptor, enabling targeted investigation of physiological responses in vitro. Its selective mechanism has established it as a valuable research tool for investigating growth hormone signaling pathways, metabolic regulation, and receptor-ligand interactions in scientific studies.
