GHRP-6 Acetate
GHRP-6 is a synthetic hexapeptide and one of the original growth hormone releasing peptides. It activates the ghrelin receptor (GHSR-1a) to stimulate GH release. GHRP-6 is notable for its additional effects on appetite stimulation and gastric motility, mediated through ghrelin pathway activation, making it useful for studying ghrelin-related signaling.
