Human growth hormone, (recombinant)

Human growth hormone is a growth factor that has been shown to play and important role in the growth control of cells.  It is a member of a group of hormones produced by the pituitary gland that also include prolactin. Human Growth hormone has been shown to stimulate proliferation of Nb2-11cells in a dose dependent manner. Its ability to promote growth is mediated by the somatomedin family of peptide hormones. It has been shown to enhance glucose transport and facilitates glycogen storage, as well as the ability to stimulate IGF-1 secretion in liver and other tissue.
