Description
HGH Technical Overview
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is a peptide/protein hormone synthesized by somatotroph cells in the anterior pituitary gland.
The primary mature human growth hormone isoform consists of 191 amino acids. Its biological activity is mediated through the growth hormone receptor and related intracellular signaling pathways.
HGH is investigated in research involving receptor pharmacology, IGF-1-associated endocrine signaling, and growth-related cellular regulation.
