Mechanism of Action
GHRP-6 binds to ghrelin receptors (GHS-R1a) on anterior pituitary somatotroph cells, triggering growth hormone release through a pathway independent of GHRH signaling. This dual mechanism allows for synergistic effects when combined with GHRH analogs in research protocols.
Storage & Handling
Store lyophilized at -20°C or 2-8°C. Reconstituted: 2-8°C, use within 30 days.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is GHRP-6?
GHRP-6 is a synthetic hexapeptide that acts as a ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a) agonist. It was one of the earliest growth hormone secretagogues studied in research and stimulates GH release from the anterior pituitary through a pathway independent of GHRH.
How does GHRP-6 differ from GHRH analogs like CJC-1295?
GHRP-6 acts on ghrelin receptors (GHS-R1a) while CJC-1295 acts on GHRH receptors. These distinct pathways are complementary, which is why they are often studied together for synergistic growth hormone release in research models.
Does GHRP-6 affect appetite in research models?
Yes. Because GHRP-6 activates ghrelin receptors, research has shown it can stimulate appetite and promote gastric motility in preclinical models. This distinguishes it from some other GH secretagogues like ipamorelin, which have minimal ghrelin-related effects.
How should GHRP-6 be stored?
Store lyophilized GHRP-6 at -20°C for long-term storage or 2-8°C for short-term. Once reconstituted, keep refrigerated and use within 30 days for optimal stability.
