Somatotropin, commonly known as human growth hormone (hGH), is a peptide hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland. It plays a crucial role in growth, metabolism, and body composition. The chemical structure of somatotropin consists of 191 amino acids, making it a polypeptide. It is involved in stimulating growth and cell reproduction, influencing protein, lipid, and carbohydrate metabolism. Somatotropin promotes the growth of bones and tissues, and its secretion is regulated by various factors, including sleep, exercise, and stress. The CAS number 12629-01-5 specifically identifies the human form of this hormone. In clinical settings, recombinant human growth hormone is used to treat growth disorders in children and hormone deficiency in adults. Its therapeutic applications extend to conditions such as Turner syndrome and chronic kidney disease. However, misuse of somatotropin in sports and bodybuilding raises ethical concerns and potential health risks. Overall, somatotropin is vital for normal physiological functions, but its regulation and use must be carefully monitored.
