Description
Ipamorelin Technical Overview
Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide developed as a growth hormone secretagogue. It interacts with GHS-R1a, the receptor associated with the endogenous hormone ghrelin.
Experimental research has investigated Ipamorelin receptor pharmacology, growth hormone-related endocrine signaling, and compound selectivity compared with other secretagogues.
Ipamorelin is chemically distinct from GHRP-2 and GHRP-6.
