Sermorelin

Also known as: GRF 1-29, GHRH 1-29 acetate

Growth Factor ResearchPeptide Signaling
ClassificationSynthetic 29-amino-acid peptide corresponding to the active fragment of human growth-hormone-releasing hormone.
TargetsGHRH receptor biology; Pituitary somatotroph models

Molecular Overview

Sermorelin (GHRH 1-29) is the shortest fully active fragment of GHRH and was historically used as a diagnostic and therapeutic agent before commercial withdrawal; it remains a common reference compound in secretagogue research.

Mechanistic Background

Engages the GHRH receptor in pituitary models, mirroring endogenous GHRH fragment activity.

What Researchers Study

Extensive historical clinical and preclinical literature exists for GHRH 1-29.

Evidence Landscape

Current evidence level: FOUNDATIONAL. Preclinical evidence does not equate to demonstrated human efficacy.

Research Limitations

Original pharmaceutical products were discontinued for commercial reasons; research-market material is not a drug product.
