MeSH Heading: Growth Hormone
Tree Number(s): D06.472.699.631.525.425; D12.644.548.691.525.425
Unique ID: D013006
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D013006
Annotation: despite X ref, coord with RECOMBINANT PROTEINS for recombinant somatotropin; HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE is also available
Scope Note: 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.

Concept UI: M0028828
Scope Note: 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.
