Ipamorelin
Product Overview
Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide belonging to the growth hormone releasing peptide (GHRP) family. This selective growth hormone secretagogue demonstrates high specificity for the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R) with minimal impact on other hormone systems, making it a valuable research tool for studying growth hormone regulation.
Molecular Specifications
