Introduction
GH-releasing peptides (GHRPs) are synthetic peptides that like GHRH effect on pituitary somatotrophs to stimulate GH release. The GHRP5 is one of several synthetic met-enkephalin analogs that owns unnatural D-amino acids. They were developed for their growth hormone (GH) releasing activity and called GH secretatogues. They lack opioid activity but are potent stimulators of GH release. These secretatogues are distinct from the growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH or GHRF) as they share no sequence relation and derive their function through action at a completely different receptor, the ghrelin receptor.
Description
Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-5 Synthetic is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 5 amino acids, having a molecular mass of 770.91 Dalton and a Molecular formula of C43H46N8O6.
Physical Appearance
Formulation
The protein was lyophilized with no additives.
Solubility
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized GHRP5 in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Stability
Lyophilized Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-5 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution GHRP5 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Greater than 97.0% as determined by analysis by RP-HPLC.
Amino acid sequence
Tyr-(D-Trp)-Ala-Trp-(D-Phe)-NH2.
