Sermorelin acetate is a peptide analogue of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) used as a diagnostic agent to assess growth hormone secretion. It is a 29-amino acid polypeptide representing the 1-29 fragment from endogenous human GHRH, thought to be the shortest fully functional fragment of GHRH.
