Get the full guide →Overview
Tesamorelin is a synthetic analog of the full 44–amino-acid human growth-hormone-releasing factor, stabilized by an N-terminal hexenoyl modification. It is a well-characterized GHRH research peptide.
Mechanism & receptor biology
It binds and activates the GHRH receptor, and research examines how its stabilizing modification affects potency and half-life relative to native GRF in model systems.
Research context
Used in endocrine research on the somatotropic axis as a defined, full-length GRF-analog reference compound.
