Sermorelin

Sermorelin is a synthetic peptide that contains the first 29 amino acids of human growth hormone-releasing hormone. Researchers commonly use it to study GHRH receptor activity, pituitary signaling, and regulated growth hormone secretion.

The peptide acts as a GHRH receptor agonist rather than as growth hormone itself. Therefore, researchers can use Sermorelin to examine how the anterior pituitary responds to growth hormone-releasing signals. Its shorter activity period also supports research involving pulsatile endocrine signaling.
