Bioactivity | Relamorelin (RM-131), 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 is centrally penetrant. Relamorelin increases growth hormone levels and accelerates gastric emptying. Relamorelin has the potential for cachexia, gastroparesis, and gastric/intestinal dysmobility disorders research[1][2][3][4]. |
Invitro | Relamorelin (RM-131) shows ∼3 times greater affinity for GHS-1a (Ki=0.42 nM) than native ghrelin (Ki=1.12 nM). Relamorelin is 6 times more potent (EC50=0.71 nM) in activating the GHS-1a receptor than native ghrelin (EC50=4.2 nM) as assessed in vitro by calcium mobilization[1]. |
