GHRP-2

Purity: ≥99% HPLC
Format: Lyophilized powder
Quantity: 5 mg per vial
SKU: G2-5

Product Overview

GHRP-2 (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-2, also known as KP-102) is a synthetic hexapeptide GH secretagogue that mimics the action of ghrelin at the GHS-R1a receptor. It stimulates a robust GH pulse from the anterior pituitary and also demonstrates activity at ghrelin receptors in peripheral tissues involved in appetite regulation and gastroprotection.

Compared to GHRP-6, GHRP-2 produces a stronger GH pulse with a relatively attenuated effect on appetite and prolactin, making it a preferred comparator in receptor selectivity studies. It is frequently studied in combination with GHRH analogs to exploit the synergistic amplification of GH pulse magnitude at the pituitary level.

Research Applications

GHRP-2 has been examined in experimental studies related to:

• GHS-R1a receptor binding, activation, and pharmacology
• Comparative GH pulse studies: GHRP-2 vs GHRP-6
• Ghrelin pathway, appetite, and gastroprotective signaling
• Synergistic GH release with GHRH analogs (CJC-1295, sermorelin)
• GH secretagogue receptor selectivity research
• Peripheral ghrelin receptor activity and metabolic signaling

Handling and Storage (Laboratory Guidance)

This product is supplied as a lyophilized peptide powder.

Typical laboratory handling recommendations include:

• Store at 2–8 °C upon receipt.
• Protect from heat, moisture, and direct light.
• Avoid excessive agitation of the solution to maintain peptide stability.
• Reconstitution, if required for laboratory experiments, should be performed using appropriate sterile laboratory techniques.
• Use of acetic acid water (0.6%) or sterile bacteriostatic water is recommended for peptides with low aqueous solubility.
