Overview

Hexarelin is a synthetic hexapeptide that activates both the GHS-R1a (ghrelin receptor) and CD36, distinguishing it from more selective ghrelin-receptor agonists. The dual mechanism is investigated for cardiovascular research alongside its primary GH-releasing activity.

Each vial is lyophilized from acetate buffer, sealed under nitrogen, and shipped cold-chain at −20 °C from our Kelowna facility.

Research applications

GHS-R1a and CD36 binding-affinity assays, pituitary GH-release potentiation studies, cardiomyocyte protection screens, and comparative ghrelin-receptor pharmacology.

Reconstitution

Allow vial to reach room temperature before opening (≥ 20 minutes). Reconstitute with 1.0–2.5 mL of sterile bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol). Inject solvent slowly down the inner wall of the vial; do not direct stream onto the lyophilized cake.

Swirl gently for 30 seconds. Do not vortex. Allow to dissolve for 5 minutes; clarity should be complete with no visible particulates.

Storage after reconstitution

Reconstituted solution is stable for 28 days at 2–8 °C in original vial. For longer storage, aliquot into low-binding tubes and hold at −80 °C; avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Discard if turbidity, color change, or particulate matter is observed.
