Research Profile
What is Ipamorelin?
Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide and selective growth hormone secretagogue. With the molecular formula C₃₈H₄₉N₉O₅ and a molecular weight of 711.9 g/mol (CAS: 170851-70-4), Ipamorelin is derived from the growth hormone-releasing peptide (GHRP) family and exhibits unique selectivity for growth hormone release.

Mechanism of Action
GHS-R1a Receptor
Ghrelin receptor agonismIpamorelin selectively activates the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a) on somatotrophs, stimulating growth hormone release without significantly affecting other pituitary hormones.
Intracellular Signaling
IP3/DAG/Ca2+ cascadeReceptor activation triggers phospholipase C-mediated signaling, increasing intracellular calcium and activating protein kinase C.
