Product name:Rat Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide,GHRP ELISA Kit
Description:
Ghrelin, a novel growth hormone releasing peptide is an acylated peptide that stimulates the release of growth hormone from pituitary.Ghrelin has been implicated in regulation of hunger and long-term weight gain/loss. Ghrelin is the endogenous ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue (GHS) receptor and has potent growth hormone-releasing activity. This peptide may constitute a new regulatory mechanism for GH-release. It is conceivable that Ghrelin may also have other functions in some tissues in addition to pituitary, because the GHS receptor is expressed in heart, lung, pancreas, intestine, and adipose tissue.
