Genotropin, often known as human growth hormone (HGH), is a hormone that the body produces and releases into the bloodstream via the somatotrope cells found in the anterior pituitary gland. It is a single-chain protein made up of 191 amino acids and has a molecular weight of about 22,000 Daltons.

 

Secretion of GH has numerous direct and indirect impacts on the body. Primarily, GH encourages the liver to produce insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1). Since GH promotes the liver's synthesis of IGF-1, the effects of both GH and IGF-1 are detailed below.

 

The synthetic form of Human Growth Hormone is known as Somatropin (which has a growth hormone sequence of 191 amino acids). Somatropin is identical to the GH naturally produced in the human body.
