GHRP-6 Acetate

GHRP-6 (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-6) is a synthetic hexapeptide that acts as a growth hormone secretagogue. Studied for its activation of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R1a), also known as the ghrelin receptor. As one of the earliest and most thoroughly investigated GHRPs, it serves as a reference compound in endocrine peptide research.

GHRP-6 can promote growth hormone secretion through a pathway distinct from growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) and may act synergistically with GHRH in GH-release models. Its receptor-binding profile and signalling responses make it useful for modelling pituitary and hypothalamic GH-axis stimulation by peptides and exploring ghrelin-related endocrine pathways.
