NCIt definition : The acetate salt form of sermorelin, a synthetic, amidated 29-amino acid peptide that
corresponds to the amino-terminal segment of the naturally occurring human growth
hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). Sermorelin acetate directly stimulates the pituitary
gland, resulting in release of growth hormone leading to increased plasma growth hormone,
which is responsible for many biological processes and counteracts growth hormone
deficiency.;
