GHRP-2

Growth-hormone-releasing peptide (secretagogue)

GHRP-2 is classified as a growth-hormone-releasing peptide, part of the growth-hormone secretagogue family. It acts at the growth-hormone secretagogue receptor and appears in the preclinical peptide literature. This page is background about the molecule as a research material and is not medical guidance and not intended for human or animal use.

Classification and structure

GHRP-2 is a synthetic peptide classified as a growth-hormone secretagogue within the GHRP series. Structurally distinct from GHRH analogs, it acts on the secretagogue receptor rather than the GHRH receptor. It is characterized as a secretagogue-receptor-directed research peptide.

Areas of research

In the scientific literature this peptide appears across the following research areas.

• Secretagogue receptor research — Investigated in laboratory models of growth-hormone secretagogue receptor binding and signaling.
