Hexarelin is a synthetic hexapeptide with the amino acid sequence His-D-2-Me-Trp-Ala-Trp-D-Phe-Lys-NH2. It functions as a potent, high-affinity agonist of the ghrelin receptor (GHSR-1a) and also exhibits binding activity at the CD36 receptor. In laboratory settings, it is used to investigate growth hormone secretion mechanisms, neuroendocrine signaling, and potential cytoprotective pathways in cardiac and skeletal muscle tissue models.
