The full-length hormone, the class B receptor, and one GH pulse
Tesamorelin keeps the entire 44-residue sequence of human GHRH, so it is expected to behave at the receptor like the natural hormone. The label backs that with one laboratory comparison: in vitro, tesamorelin binds and stimulates human GRF receptors with similar potency as the endogenous hormone.
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.
