Abstract excerpt
Despite the lower site 1 affinity of the 20-kDa human growth hormone (20K-hGH) for the hGH receptor (hGHR), 20K-hGH has the same hGHR-mediated activity as 22-kDa human GH (22K-hGH) at low hGH concentration and even higher activity at high hGH concentration. This study was performed to elucidate t...
