What is Ipamorelin?

Ipamorelin is a selective pentapeptide agonist at the ghrelin GHS-R1a receptor. It is used in pituitary somatotroph culture and studied for its receptor selectivity, with minimal cross-activity at ACTH and prolactin endpoints. NuVion stocks it in Australia as a 10mg lyophilised vial.

  • Selective pentapeptide agonist at the ghrelin GHS-R1a receptor
  • Used in pituitary somatotroph culture models
  • Applied in receptor selectivity and second messenger assays
  • Supplied lyophilised, purity by RP-HPLC and identity by mass spectrometry

Ipamorelin structure and research use

Ipamorelin has the sequence Aib-His-D-2-Nal-D-Phe-Lys-NH2. It belongs to the growth hormone releasing peptide family, synthetic agonists of the ghrelin receptor GHS-R1a, alongside GHRP-2 and GHRP-6. What sets it apart in the literature is selectivity: in somatotroph work it shows minimal cross-activity at ACTH and prolactin endpoints.

Ipamorelin research applications

  • Competition binding at recombinant GHS-R1a in membrane preparations, run against labelled ghrelin or small-molecule tracers
  • Calcium mobilisation in HEK293 or CHO lines stably expressing GHS-R1a, read with fluorescent calcium indicators
  • IP-One accumulation assays measuring Gq pathway output, paired with transcriptional reporter readouts of that branch
  • Beta-arrestin recruitment and receptor internalisation measured by BRET, enzyme complementation or imaging formats

Ipamorelin questions

Where can I buy ipamorelin in Australia?
NuVion stocks ipamorelin in Australia as a 10mg vial of lyophilised powder, posted from Australian stock on a tracked express service. A sample was analysed by Janoshik Analytical on 9 July 2026, with purity of 99.71% by RP-HPLC. It also comes in the Metabolic Signalling Set, the Somatotropic Axis Set, the Metabolic Signalling Set (Extended) and the GHRH & Secretagogue Pair. Bacteriostatic water is sold separately. ipamorelin is supplied as a research material only and is not on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods.
What is Ipamorelin used for in research?
It is used as a selective agonist at the ghrelin receptor GHS-R1a in binding, calcium mobilisation, IP-One and arrestin recruitment assays. Its selectivity makes it useful when a GHS-R1a signal has to be separated from other receptor systems present in the same cells.
How does Ipamorelin work at the cell level?
GHS-R1a is a class A G protein-coupled receptor encoded by GHSR, expressed in pituitary somatotroph cells and in defined hypothalamic and peripheral neuronal populations. The receptor is notable for high constitutive activity, signalling at around half its maximal level with no ligand bound, which makes it a standard system for studying inverse agonism as well as agonism. The Ipamorelin research profile covers the mechanism in full.
Why does Ipamorelin begin with an Aib residue?
Aib, alpha-aminoisobutyric acid, restrains the N terminus of Ipamorelin. It is a quaternary residue with two methyl groups on the alpha carbon, so it favours helical and turn geometry, has no alpha proton and resists aminopeptidase attack.
Does Ipamorelin share any sequence with ghrelin?
No. The Ipamorelin sequence has nothing in common with ghrelin, the endogenous GHS-R1a ligand, and it lacks the Ser3 octanoyl group that ghrelin requires. It is a peptidomimetic that reaches the same binding site by a different chemistry.
What mass does identity testing report for Ipamorelin?
Identity work reports the mass of the free peptide, which is 711.9 g/mol for the formula C38H49N9O5. Ipamorelin is usually supplied as the acetate salt, so the free peptide mass is the figure that appears in mass spectrometry.
Is ipamorelin a GHRP?
Yes. It is a growth hormone releasing peptide, a synthetic agonist of the ghrelin receptor GHS-R1a, in the same family as GHRP-2 and GHRP-6.
How is ipamorelin different from CJC-1295?
They act at different receptors. Ipamorelin is an agonist at the ghrelin receptor GHS-R1a. CJC-1295 No DAC is a GHRH analogue and acts at the GHRH receptor. NuVion stocks both separately, and together in the CJC-1295 No DAC / Ipamorelin Blend.
