HGH
Lab-made growth hormone
Somatropin is a lab-made copy of human growth hormone itself — the full natural protein. Unlike the signal-type compounds in this group, which prompt the gland to release growth hormone, this is the growth hormone itself.
Also known as Human Growth Hormone · Somatropin · rhGH · GH · 191-aa GH
How it is studied
It lands on the growth-hormone docking spots on cells throughout the body. This in turn prompts the body to make a follow-on messenger called IGF-1, a growth factor through which much of growth hormone's activity is passed along.
Research context
A central reference hormone in growth-hormone and IGF-1 research.
Good to know
A powerful protein hormone and the reference standard for this system — research use only.
Research area
Growth-hormone & growth-factor (IGF) research. This group of research compounds is studied for how the body's growth-hormone system works. Growth hormone is a natural substance made by a small gland at the base of the brain. Some of these compounds copy the body's own signal that tells that gland to release growth hormone. Others are lab-made copies of growth hormone itself, or of a related messenger the body makes afterward. All are for laboratory research only.
