GHRP-6 (SKF 110679)
GHRP-6, also referred to as GH-releasing peptide-6 or SKF 110679, is a synthetic hexapeptide classified as a growth hormone secretagogue. It functions as a ghrelin receptor agonist. Researchers investigate GHRP-6 due to its interaction with the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR). This peptide is used in controlled laboratory settings for fundamental endocrinology experiments, including the study of peptide-receptor dynamics and the initiation of signaling pathways.
