SERMORELIN
Sermorelin acetate (also known as GRF 1–29 or Growth Hormone–Releasing Factor 1–29 amide) is a synthetic peptide analogue of the endogenous Growth Hormone–Releasing Hormone (GHRH) produced by the hypothalamus. It represents the first 29 amino acids of the natural GHRH(1–44) sequence — the minimal biologically active fragment responsible for binding and activating GHRH receptors on anterior pituitary somatotrophs.
By mimicking the physiological function of native GHRH, Sermorelin stimulates the hypothalamic–pituitary–somatotropic axis, leading to a pulsatile release of endogenous growth hormone (GH). This makes Sermorelin a valuable research peptide for studying GH regulation, endocrine feedback loops, pituitary function, and metabolic mechanisms associated with growth and repair.
Price range: $45.00 through $98.00
Structural Highlights:
- Active Core Fragment: Sermorelin contains the full receptor-binding region of GHRH (residues 1–29), which maintains full agonist activity.
- C-terminal Amidation: Enhances stability, prevents rapid enzymatic degradation, and extends biological half-life.
- Mechanistic Action: Induces GH pulse secretion through the physiological GHRH–GH–IGF-1 pathway.
- Receptor Selectivity: Selectively activates GHRH receptors in pituitary somatotroph cells without directly stimulating GH release (unlike GHRP analogues).
Sermorelin is a well-established research peptide in endocrine, metabolic, and age-related biology studies. It is commonly used to explore the regulation of growth hormone secretion, metabolic homeostasis, and pituitary responsiveness.
Endocrine and Growth Hormone Axis Research
- Potently stimulates endogenous GH secretion through natural hypothalamic–pituitary signaling.
- Enhances IGF-1 synthesis via GH-mediated hepatic pathways.
- Valuable for mapping the feedback relationship between GH, GHRH, somatostatin, and IGF-1 in preclinical systems.
Metabolic Regulation and Body Composition Studies
- Promotes lipolysis and fat metabolism through GH-induced mechanisms.
- Supports studies into protein synthesis, lean mass preservation, and cellular repair.
- Demonstrates metabolic improvements in research models of obesity and insulin resistance.
Pituitary and Neuroendocrine Research
- Allows investigation into pituitary somatotroph function and receptor dynamics.
- Useful for studying GH pulsatility, age-related declines in GH output, and neuroendocrine adaptation.
- Serves as a model agonist for testing GHRH receptor modulators or feedback inhibitors.
Cognitive and Cellular Recovery Models
- Indirectly enhances GH-IGF-1–mediated neural support and cellular regeneration mechanisms in research.
- Used in neuroendocrine studies to explore GH’s influence on neuroplasticity, mitochondrial function, and cognitive metabolism.
