Application

Growth Hormone Releasing Factor (GHRF) is an amino acid peptide that induces the release of growth hormone via GPCR receptor GHRH-R. N-terminal fragments and modified fragments are used to study the biological roles of GHRF.

Conditions have been developed for the site-specific pegylation (NH2-terminus, side-chain and carboxy-terminus) of a potent analog of growth hormone-releasing factor, [Ala15]-hGRF(1-29)-NH2. These pegylated peptides were prepared by solid-phase peptide synthesis using the Fmoc/tBu strategy, and were fully characterized by analytical

In order to prepare GRF analogs with high activity in vivo, a strategy was undertaken to stabilize the peptide to dipeptidylpeptidase IV (DPP-IV), a protease found in plasma which inactivates native human and bovine GRF by cleavage of the Ala2-Asp3
Y Arsenijevic et al.
Endocrinology, 121(4), 1487-1496 (1987-10-01)
The ability of human (h)GRF-(1-29)NH2 to stimulate GH secretion was studied in cannulated adult rats. In order to suppress endogenous GRF secretion and the inhibitory action of hypothalamic somatostatin (SRIF), rats were anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital. Intravenous administration of hGRF-(1-29)NH2
