Description

GHRP-2 (growth hormone releasing peptide – 2) (known as

KP-102 as well) is a short polypeptide belong to group of

releasing proteins of growth hormone, it contains six amino

acids only. Its molecular mass is 817.9 and its molecular

formula is C45H55N906.

This hexapeptide was synthesized in early 90s. The group

of peptides which KP-102 belongs to, was discovered about

20 years ago as synthetic oligopeptides which derived from

certain amino acids. Few studies have shown its great

capability in stimulation of natural release of endogenous

hormone of growth by its influence on G-proteins receptor.

The biggest clinical research on peptide hormones

including KP-102 was finished in 1997 by American

researchers (Arkansas University).

This research compound was found to increase level of

IGF-1, and even to boost functioning of hypothalamus. But

its potent ability to positively effect on stimulating of pituitary

gland’s functioning remains its main characteristic. Also

GH-releasing peptide-2 possesses such features as

promoting average muscle weight gain. As well it was

proven that GHRP-2 affects physiologic system making it to

increase calcium ion influx and has some anti-inflammatory

properties
