Structure and properties of members of the hGH family: a review.

Endocrine journal - 1 Mar 2000

Lewis U J, Sinha Y N, Lewis G P

Abstract excerpt

This review will summarize the properties of five variant forms of human growth hormone: a disulfide dimer, a glycosylated form, 20 kD-hGH, and two peptides made up of portions of 22 kD-hGH. The two pituitary peptides (hGH(1-43) and hGH(44-191)) have, respectively, insulin-potentiating and anti-insulin properties. Both have been detected in serum. The shorter peptide may prove to be useful in decreasing the...
