MedKoo CAT#: 326656

CAS#: 114466-38-5 (acetate)

Description: Sermorelin, also known as GHRH (1-29), is a growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analogue used as a diagnostic agent. It is a 29-amino acid polypeptide representing the 1–29 fragment from endogenous human GHRH, and is thought to be the shortest fully functional fragment of GHRH.[1] It is used as a diagnostic agent to assess growth hormone (GH) secretion. Sermorelin use is also hypothesized to improve deep rapid eye movement sleep.
