A C-terminally amidated hexapeptide carrying three D-configured residues (D-Ala, D-2-Nal and D-Phe). Its defining structural feature is the unnatural residue D-2-naphthylalanine — 3-(2-naphthyl)-D-alanine — at position 2, which replaces the histidine/D-tryptophan pair that opens GHRP-6 and accounts for the nine-nitrogen composition.

Reference context

GHRP-2 is a synthetic hexapeptide amide, D-Ala-D-2-Nal-Ala-Trp-D-Phe-Lys-NH2, distinguished by the unnatural residue 3-(2-naphthyl)-D-alanine at position 2. It is listed here strictly as an analytical reference entity — it is not sold, stocked, or certified by Lineará, and has no price or certificate of analysis. The data on this page is characterization only: molecular formula C45H55N9O6 and the values computed from it. No biological activity, mechanism, or use is described or implied.

How GHRP-2 is characterized

Identity rests on the molecular formula and mass. Electrospray mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) measures the mass-to-charge ratio of the intact molecule; the average and monoisotopic masses are computed from the verified formula and cross-check the composition. The residue sequence and the modifications noted above define the structure.

Frequently asked questions

What is GHRP-2?
GHRP-2 is a synthetic hexapeptide amide, D-Ala-D-2-Nal-Ala-Trp-D-Phe-Lys-NH2, distinguished by the unnatural residue 3-(2-naphthyl)-D-alanine at position 2. It is listed here strictly as an analytical reference entity — it is not sold, stocked, or certified by Lineará, and has no price or certificate of analysis. The data on this page is characterization only: molecular formula C45H55N9O6 and the values computed from it. No biological activity, mechanism, or use is described or implied.
What is the amino-acid sequence of GHRP-2?
GHRP-2 has the sequence D-Ala-D-2-Nal-Ala-Trp-D-Phe-Lys-NH2. A C-terminally amidated hexapeptide carrying three D-configured residues (D-Ala, D-2-Nal and D-Phe). Its defining structural feature is the unnatural residue D-2-naphthylalanine — 3-(2-naphthyl)-D-alanine — at position 2, which replaces the histidine/D-tryptophan pair that opens GHRP-6 and accounts for the nine-nitrogen composition.
What is the molecular formula of GHRP-2?
GHRP-2 has the molecular formula C45H55N9O6, giving an average molecular weight of 817.98 g/mol and a computed monoisotopic mass of 817.4275 Da.
What are the key chemical identifiers for GHRP-2?
The CAS Registry Number for GHRP-2 is 158861-67-7. Its PubChem CID is 6918245, its FDA UNII is E6S6E1F19M, and its InChIKey is HRNLPPBUBKMZMT-RDRUQFPZSA-N.
Is GHRP-2 a peptide?
Yes. GHRP-2 is a peptide — a chain of amino-acid residues joined by peptide bonds, 6 residues in length. Its identity is defined by that sequence and its molecular mass.
How is GHRP-2 stored and reconstituted?
As a research material, GHRP-2 is typically handled as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. It is kept desiccated and cold — commonly 2–8 °C for short periods and −20 °C for longer storage — and reconstituted in sterile or bacteriostatic water. This is storage and handling information only, not a use protocol.
Does Lineará sell GHRP-2?
No. GHRP-2 is listed here only as an analytical reference entity. It is not part of the Lineará formulary, has no price or certificate of analysis, and is not offered for sale.
Is GHRP-2 approved for human use?
No. GHRP-2 is presented strictly as characterization reference data. It is not a drug, is not approved for any human or veterinary use, and must not be administered to humans or animals.
