PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway is attractive target for cancer therapy
It promotes the release of growth hormone, which provides many positive effects on body composition, collagen synthesis, muscle and bone growth, heart health, aging, and more
Two key structural features distinguish it from other GHRPs: (1) incorporation of an -aminoisobutyric residue (Aib) at position 1 replacing the histidine of classical GHRPs, stabilising the -turn conformation required for receptor activation, (2) presence of a D-2-naphthyl-alanine (D-2-Nal) at position 3 replacing the D-isomer tryptophan, increasing GHS-R1a selectivity over related receptors
As a growth hormone secretagogue, it induces GH release
