GROWTH HORMONE
Growth hormone (GH) or somatotropin, also known as human growth hormone (hGH or HGH) in its
human form, is a peptide hormone that stimulates growth, cell reproduction, and cell regeneration in
humans and other animals. It is thus important in human development. GH also stimulates production of
IGF-1 and increases the concentration of glucose and free fatty acids.It is a type of mitogen which is
specific only to the receptors on certain types of cells. GH is a 191-amino acid, single-chain polypeptide
that is synthesized, stored and secreted by somatotropic cells within the lateral wings of the anterior
pituitary gland.
