GHRP-2

GHRP-2 (Pralmorelin)

GHRP-2, also identified as Pralmorelin or KP-102D, is a synthetic research peptide categorized as a growth hormone secretagogue. In controlled laboratory environments, investigators study this compound as a ghrelin receptor agonist. The primary research focus involves its interaction with the GHSR-1a receptor subtype, and it is frequently applied in in vitro cell culture models to map early signaling events and receptor-ligand interaction pathways. This peptide serves as a standard tool in endocrine research for fundamental studies regarding secretagogue mechanisms.
