Tesamorelin is a fully synthetic 44-residue peptide amide corresponding to the GHRH(1–44) sequence, distinguished by a trans-3-hexenoyl group acylated onto the α-amino group of the N-terminal tyrosine. That lipophilic N-terminal modification is the structural feature defining it as a discrete entity within the GHRH analogue family, and it's the feature most often referenced in analytical method development and stability profiling.
At 5136 g/mol across 44 residues, this is the largest peptide on our catalogue. Supplied as a lyophilised powder in a sealed single-use vial.

Storage and handling
Store sealed at −20°C, protected from light and moisture. Equilibrate to ambient temperature before opening. Larger peptides are generally more sensitive to freeze-thaw cycling than short chains — avoid repeated temperature excursions. Refer to the lot COA for batch-specific data.
