Abstract excerpt

The 20K hGH isoform is produced by alternative splicing of GH mRNA, and comprises approximately 10% of all GH in the pituitary. The physiological role of 20K hGH remains to be determined partly because of the lack of a simple and specific assay. We have established sensitive enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assays (ELISAs) specific to 20K and 22K hGH. The serum levels of 20K hGH after overnight fasting was 118 +/-...
