A polypeptide that is secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR).
Growth hormone, also known as somatotropin, stimulates mitosis, cell differentiation
and cell growth. Species-specific growth hormones have been synthesized
Note publique d''information :
Growth hormone (somatotropin) can be synthesized with methods of recombinant DNA technology.
Since action of GH is highly species-specific, recombinant growth hormones of several
species (including humans, cows, and pigs) have been developed. They have been used
to stimulate growth
Note générale sur le champ d'application :
despite X ref, coord with RECOMBINANT PROTEINS for recombinant somatotropin; HUMAN
GROWTH HORMONE is also available
