SYNONYMS

GHRP-2, GHRP.

INTRODUCTION GH-releasing peptides (GHRPs) are synthetic peptides that like GHRH act directly on pituitary somatotrophs to stimulate GH release. GHRP-2, an investigational drug, is one of the most potent members of the GHRP family. It has been shown to be effective in adults via the oral and intranasal as well as the iv route of administration.

DESCRIPTION Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-2 Synthetic is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 6 amino acids, having a molecular mass of 817.9 Dalton and a Molecular formula of C45H55N9O6.

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

FORMULATION The GHRP-2 hormone was lyophilized with no additives.

SOLUBILITY It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized GHRP-2 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-2 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution GHRP-2 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 99.0% as determined by analysis by RP-HPLC.

AMINO ACID SEQUENCE H-D-Ala-D-2-Nal-Ala-Trp-D-Phe-Lys-NH2.
