The full-length hormone, the class B receptor, and one GH pulse
Tesamorelin keeps the entire 44-residue sequence of human GHRH, so its receptor pharmacology is identical to the natural hormone. What changes is only how long it survives in blood, not what it does at the pituitary.
This unit maps the axis across the body, explains why the GHRH receptor is a class B GPCR that speaks in cAMP, and shows why tesamorelin can only work where the pituitary and its receptor are intact.
