Raun et al. (1998) characterized Ipamorelin's selective binding to GHS-R1a receptors and its effects on growth hormone release in pituitary cell cultures (PMID: 10698741).
PMID: 10698741VERIFY PMIDJohansen et al. (2002) investigated Ipamorelin's receptor binding kinetics and signaling pathways in CHO cells expressing GHS-R1a (PMID: 11916262).
PMID: 11916262VERIFY PMIDIpamorelin selectively activates the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a) on somatotrophs, stimulating growth hormone release without significantly affecting other pituitary hormones (PMID: 10698741).
Receptor activation triggers phospholipase C-mediated signaling, increasing intracellular calcium and activating protein kinase C (PMID: 11916262).
