Research overview
A selective pentapeptide secretagogue.
Ipamorelin is investigated in receptor-pharmacology and endocrine-signaling models. Published work characterizes it as a growth-hormone-secretagogue-receptor agonist with selective growth-hormone-release activity in experimental systems.
GHSR1aThe ghrelin receptor is the principal receptor system associated with Ipamorelin research.
5 AAIpamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide containing natural and modified residues.

Compound Profile & Technical Overview
Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide identified in published pharmacology as a growth-hormone secretagogue and agonist at the growth-hormone-secretagogue receptor, commonly called the ghrelin receptor or GHSR1a. Its condensed sequence is Aib-His-D-2-Nal-D-Phe-Lys-NH2 and includes modified amino-acid residues. PubChem reports the molecular formula C38H49N9O5 and a molecular weight of 711.9 g/mol. Experimental studies have assessed receptor signaling, pituitary growth-hormone release, selectivity relative to other pituitary hormones, and gastrointestinal-transit models.
