(D-Trp⁷,Ala⁸,D-Phe¹⁰)-α-MSH (6-11) amide

Catalog No.: GA20171Purity:>98.00%
In search of competitive α-MSH antagonists, the hexapeptide GHRP-6 has been recognized as a selective inhibitor of α-MSH activity in the frog skin bioassay. It is identical in sequence with a growth hormone-releasing peptide analog, (His¹,Lys?)-GHRP, which selectively releases GH in vitro and in a wide variety of species in vivo. GHRP-6 also acts as a functional antagonist of somatostatin in the somatotrope cells.
