Tesamorelin is a synthetic 44-amino-acid analogue of human growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), stabilised by trans-3-hexenoic acid conjugation at the N-terminus to resist dipeptidyl peptidase IV degradation, and studied for its selective stimulation of pituitary growth hormone secretion. CAS 218949-48-5; molecular weight 5135.9 g/mol; belongs to the GHRH peptide class. Supplied lyophilised at ≥99% purity by HPLC. For laboratory research use only; not for human or veterinary use.
Stabilised at its N-terminus by a distinctive trans-3-hexenoyl cap, Tesamorelin is a synthetic analogue of human growth-hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), a 44-residue peptide engineered for enhanced metabolic stability over the native hormone. It is among the most thoroughly characterised GHRH analogues in clinical endocrinology research, notably as a tool for studying visceral adiposity and the GH/IGF-1 axis.
A hormone fragment built to endure. Native GHRH is cleaved rapidly in circulation. By fusing a hexenoic-acid moiety to the full-length GRF(1-44) sequence, the molecule gains resistance to enzymatic degradation while retaining its ability to engage the GHRH receptor and drive pulsatile growth-hormone secretion. This stability is what allowed it to become the most extensively investigated analogue of its class in human metabolic studies (Wang et al., 2009; Tomlinson et al., 2006).

Tesamorelin is a synthetic analogue of human growth-hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), a 44-residue peptide stabilized at its N-terminus by a distinctive trans-3-hexenoyl cap that improves its metabolic stability over the native hormone. Condor Research supplies it as a 5 mg lyophilized vial, third-party tested to ≥99% purity by HPLC, strictly for in-vitro research use.
Length and stabilization differ. Sermorelin is the minimal 29-residue GRF(1-29) fragment with no added protection, whereas Tesamorelin is a longer 44-residue GHRH analogue carrying a trans-3-hexenoyl cap that resists enzymatic breakdown. Both are GHRH-analogue research peptides, but Tesamorelin is engineered for greater metabolic stability. Each is sold as Research Use Only material.
The trans-3-hexenoyl cap on Tesamorelin's N-terminus shields it from rapid enzymatic degradation, extending its stability relative to the unmodified GRF(1-29) sequence of Sermorelin. This makes Tesamorelin a longer, more stable GHRH analogue, while Sermorelin represents the native minimal active core. Both are studied as in-vitro reference peptides.
Both are stabilized GHRH analogues using different approaches. Tesamorelin is a 44-residue peptide stabilized by a trans-3-hexenoyl cap; CJC-1295 (no DAC), or Modified GRF (1-29), is a 29-residue fragment stabilized by amino-acid substitutions. They are distinct research molecules at the GHRH-receptor pathway. Both are supplied strictly for in-vitro laboratory use.
They act at opposite points of growth-hormone biology. Tesamorelin is a GHRH analogue, a secretagogue-type molecule modeled on the hormone that signals upstream of GH. AOD-9604 is instead a fragment of the GH molecule itself (residues 177-191), studied as a lipolytic-domain peptide. Both are offered as Research Use Only reference compounds.
All three are GHRH-receptor analogues differing in length and stabilization: Sermorelin is the native 29-residue GRF(1-29); CJC-1295 no DAC is the substitution-stabilized Modified GRF (1-29); Tesamorelin is the 44-residue, hexenoyl-capped analogue. Selection depends on your in-vitro model. Condor Research supplies them as research materials only and gives no use protocols — research design is the investigator's.
Each lot is tested by an independent third-party laboratory, with identity and purity confirmed by HPLC and mass spec, and ships with a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis certifying ≥99% purity.
