Ipamorelin is a synthetic peptide that is part of a class of drugs known as growth hormone secretagogues (GHS). It functions by stimulating the pituitary gland to release growth hormone (GH). Unlike some other GHS compounds, Ipamorelin specifically targets the release of GH without significantly affecting the levels of other hormones such as cortisol.
**Chemical Structure and Function:**
Ipamorelin is a pentapeptide, meaning it is composed of five amino acids. Its sequence is typically represented as Aib-His-D-2-Nal-D-Phe-Lys-NH2. This specific sequence allows it to bind effectively to the ghrelin receptor (also known as the growth hormone secretagogue receptor), mimicking the GH-stimulating action of the endogenous hormone ghrelin.
