LONG LASTING GROWTH HORMONE RELEASING FACTOR DERIVATIVE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a GRF (growth hormone releasing factor) peptide derivative having an extended in vivo half-life for promoting the endogenous production or release of growth hormone in humans and animals. SOLUTION: The invention relates to the growth hormone releasing factor derivative comprising a peptide having growth hormone production or releasing activity, and a reactive entity coupled to the peptide, the derivative being capable of covalently bonding in vivo or in vitro with a functionality on a blood component.
