GHRP-6 Acetate
Growth-hormone-signal peptide
GHRP-6 is one of the original members of the family of peptides that prompt growth-hormone release, and a common reference compound in this group in research.
Also known as Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-6 · SKF-110679 · His-D-Trp-Ala-Trp-D-Phe-Lys-NH2
How it is studied
It copies the body's hunger hormone (ghrelin) and lands on that hormone's docking spot. In research this same spot is also tied to ghrelin-pathway signaling, which is one reason GHRP-6 is used as a tool to study that circuit.
Research context
Studied in laboratory research on the growth-hormone system and on ghrelin-pathway and meal-related signaling biology.
Research area
Growth-hormone & growth-factor (IGF) research. This group of research compounds is studied for how the body's growth-hormone system works. Growth hormone is a natural substance made by a small gland at the base of the brain. Some of these compounds copy the body's own signal that tells that gland to release growth hormone. Others are lab-made copies of growth hormone itself, or of a related messenger the body makes afterward. All are for laboratory research only.
