Relamorelin (acetate)

• UNSPSC Description:

  Relamorelin (RM-131) acetate, a pentapeptide ghrelin analog, is a selective ghrelin/growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) agonist with a Ki of 0.42 nM for GHS-1a receptor. Relamorelin acetate is centrally penetrant. Relamorelin acetate increases growth hormone levels and accelerates gastric emptying. Relamorelin acetate has the potential for cachexia, gastroparesis, and gastric/intestinal dysmobility disorders research[1][2][3][4][5].
