Research Information
GHRP-6 is a synthetic hexapeptide ghrelin receptor agonist, one of the earliest growth hormone secretagogues developed for research. It's studied for its role in pituitary and ghrelin pathway research. Researchers are interested in its dual action — both directly on the GHSR receptor and indirectly via hypothalamic pathways — making it a useful tool for studies separating central and peripheral ghrelin signalling. Published work has used both pituitary cell lines and hypothalamic models to examine these pathways.
Research areas
- Ghrelin receptor (GHSR) binding studies
- Hypothalamic-pituitary axis research
- Appetite signalling pathway studies (in-vitro models)
- Comparative secretagogue research
Analytical methods
Identity and purity are typically confirmed at source by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry. HelixCore products are batch tested for identity and purity as standard.
Storage and handling
Store lyophilised at -20°C, away from moisture and direct light. Once reconstituted, store at 2–8°C and use within the timeframe specified on the source datasheet.
For Research Use Only. Not for human or veterinary use.
Batch tested
Every batch is tested for identity and purity (98%+) before it reaches our UK stock.
