Sermorelin

The Uses of Sermorelin

Sermorelin Acetate, was used for characterization of a growth hormone-releasing factor from a human pancreatic islet tumor.

Definition

Sermorelin is an analogue of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) primarily used for diagnostic purposes. It is a 29-amino acid-containing fragment of endogenous human GHRH, also represented as GHRH (1–29). Sermorelin is the shortest fully functional synthetic fragment of GHRH. It was marketed under the trade name of Geref by Serono Laboratories, but the FDA recently listed it as a “discontinued drug product.”
