Tesamorelin 5 mg is a synthetic GHRH analog (44 aa + trans-3-hexenoic acid) provided by Peptide Tech at ≥ 99% purity (HPLC & MS verified) for in-vitro, cellular, and biochemical research use only (RUO). This stabilized peptide is favored in experimental models examining GH-axis regulation, metabolic signaling, and pituitary feedback mechanisms. Supplied as a lyophilized powder with full traceability and third-party verification, Tesamorelin is optimized for reliable and reproducible laboratory research.

Molecular Structure
Storage & Handling
Lyophilized Storage: Store unopened vials at ≤ 6 °C (refrigerated), sealed, away from heat, light, and moisture.
For long-term storage, ≤ −20 °C is recommended.
After Reconstitution: Prepare sterile aliquots in buffer; store at ≤ −20 °C.
Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles to maintain peptide integrity.
- Use sterile technique and aseptic conditions.
- Allow vial to warm to room temperature before opening to minimize condensation.
- Dissolve gently — do not vortex aggressively.
- Filter-clarify if using in sterile cell culture systems.
Research Applications
(Strictly in-vitro, cellular, or biochemical contexts — no clinical or human-use claims.)
- GH release modeling: Used to stimulate growth hormone secretion in pituitary culture and perfusion systems.
- Endocrine regulation assays: Useful for analyzing hypothalamo-pituitary receptor pharmacology and feedback loops.
- Metabolic signaling studies: Applied in models examining lipid metabolism and endocrine crosstalk.
- Peptide stability comparisons: Explored in receptor-binding and degradation resistance assays.
