Somatotropin / Growth Hormone (GH1) Antibody (Biotin)

Background

Growth hormone 1 (Somatotropin) (GH1) is a peptide hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland that regulates growth, metabolism, and cellular regeneration GH1 plays a central role in stimulating growth during childhood and adolescence by promoting the proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes in bone tissue, enhancing protein synthesis, and stimulating insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) production in the liver and peripheral tissues GH1 also regulates carbohydrate and lipid metabolism by enhancing lipolysis, increasing glucose availability, and influencing insulin sensitivity Dysregulation of GH1 production can lead to disorders such as gigantism and acromegaly (overproduction) or growth hormone deficiency, resulting in stunted growth and metabolic imbalances GH1 is also involved in muscle growth, tissue repair, and immune system regulation, highlighting its anabolic and regenerative roles GH1 levels decline with age, contributing to reduced muscle mass and increased fat accumulation, and its therapeutic administration is used to treat growth disorders and promote recovery in catabolic states Its wide-ranging effects on growth, metabolism, and tissue maintenance make GH1 a critical regulator of systemic physiology
