Human Growth Hormone

More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: A 191-amino acid polypeptide hormone secreted by the human adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR), also known as GH or somatotropin. Synthetic growth hormone, termed somatropin, has replaced the natural form in therapeutic usage such as treatment of dwarfism in children with growth hormone deficiency.  GROWTH HORMONE, unspecified is also available; despite entry term, coordinate with RECOMBINANT PROTEINS for recombinant human growth hormone    Other names Hoffmann La Roche Brand of Human Growth Hormone; Growth Hormone, Human; CryoTropin; Cryo Tropin; r-hGH-M; r-hGH(m); hGH (Human Growth Hormone); Zomacton; Umatrope; Somatropin; Serostim; Serono Brand of Human Growth Hormone; Sanofi Synthelabo Brand of Human Growth Hormone; Sandoz Brand of Human Growth Hormone; Saizen; Recombinant Human Growth Hormone (Mammalian); Pisa Brand of Human Growth Hormone; Pfizer Brand of Human Growth Hormone; Omnitrope; NutropinDrugs* : ASELLACRIN 10; NORDITROPIN; BIO-TROPIN; NORDITROPIN FLEXPRO; GENOTROPIN PRESERVATIVE FREE; SAIZEN; TEV-TROPIN; VALTROPIN; CRESCORMON; NUTROPIN DEPOT; GENOTROPIN; SEROSTIM; OMNITROPE; ASELLACRIN 2; NUTROPIN; NUTROPIN AQ; NUTROPIN AQ PEN; ZORBTIVE; SEROSTIM LQ; NORDITROPIN NORDIFLEX
