Description
Data Sheet
| Amino Acid Composition | H-D-Ala-D-2-Nal-Ala-Trp-D-Phe-Lys-NH2. |
| 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. |
| Formulation | The GHRP-2 hormone was lyophilized with no additives. |
| Protein Background | 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. |
| Purity | Greater than 99.0% as determined by analysis by RP-HPLC. |
| Reagent Appearance | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Solubility | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized GHRP-2 in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100 ug/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. |
| Synonyms | GHRP-2, GHRP. |
