Ghrelin receptor agonist peptide studied in growth hormone secretagogue research.
Ipamorelin is a synthetic peptide classified as a growth hormone secretagogue, targeting the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a) in experimental systems.
The peptide is engineered for receptor selectivity and is studied for its signaling profile compared to earlier secretagogues.
Referenced in studies on ghrelin receptor signaling, pituitary pathways, and peptide agonist design.
