What is Hexarelin?

Hexarelin is a synthetic six-amino-acid peptide that strongly activates the ghrelin receptor. It is also studied for a separate signaling route in heart tissue (through the CD36 receptor) that works independently of growth-hormone release.

  • A six-amino-acid peptide that activates the ghrelin receptor with high potency
  • One of the strongest ghrelin-receptor activators known; used as a reference compound
  • Studied for a separate signaling route in heart tissue through the CD36 receptor
  • Investigated in animal heart-tissue research for CD36-related signaling

Hexarelin (CAS 140703-51-1), also known as Examorelin, is a synthetic hexapeptide growth hormone secretagogue with the molecular formula C47H58N12O6 and a molecular weight of 887.05 g/mol. Its amino acid sequence, His-D-2-Me-Trp-Ala-Trp-D-Phe-Lys-NH2, features a 2-methyl-D-tryptophan residue at position 2, a structural modification considered significant to its receptor binding characteristics and resistance to proteolytic degradation. Produced via solid-phase peptide synthesis, Hexarelin acts as an agonist at the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a) and is one of the most frequently cited secretagogues in preclinical endocrine and cardiovascular research.

Hexarelin occupies a notable position in preclinical research due to the breadth of biological pathways it has been investigated alongside. In vitro studies in receptor binding preparations using human brain and pituitary tissue have examined its binding affinity at the GHS-R1a receptor and its capacity to stimulate intracellular calcium mobilisation in pituitary cell lines, with published work characterising specific GHS-R1a binding parameters and investigating its resistance to enzymatic degradation relative to earlier secretagogues such as GHRP-6 [1]. Beyond the somatotropic axis, Hexarelin has also been investigated in rodent cardiovascular models, where researchers have examined its interaction with isolated cardiac and myocardial tissue preparations, documenting cardiac activity independent of GH-mediated pathways, an area of investigation that distinguishes it from most other compounds in the secretagogue class [2].

Hexarelin is produced to research-grade standards and independently verified by third-party HPLC and MS-UPLC analysis before dispatch. Vials are vacuum sealed and stored in a temperature controlled, monitored cold storage system. Certificates of Analysis are available on request.
