Genes for human growth hormone, known as growth hormone 1 (somatotropin; pituitary growth hormone) and growth hormone 2 (placental growth hormone; growth hormone variant), are localized in the q22-24 region of chromosome 17 [7] [8] and are closely related to human chorionic somatomammotropin (also known as placental lactogen) genes.
The first 29 amino acids of GHRH were discovered to be as equally potent as its full 44 amino acid structure [1] [2] This fragment became known as GRF (1-29).However, due to a rapid metabolic clearance analogues of GRF (1-29) were synthesized to enhance the biological activity and reduce the rapidity of metabolic clearance.
Growth hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH), also known as somatocrinin among other names in its endogenous form and as somatorelin in its pharmaceutical form, is a releasing hormone of growth hormone (GH). It is a 44 [1]-amino acid peptide hormone produced in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus.
CJC-1295 may markedly increase plasma growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels in animals and humans. [1] [2] [3] [5] With a single injection, in human subjects, CJC-1295 DAC may increase plasma GH levels by 2- to 10-fold for 6 days or longer and plasma IGF-1 levels by 0.5- to 3-fold for 9 to 11 days.

The horizontal axis is the concentration of the ligand. As the Hill coefficient is increased, the saturation curve becomes steeper. In biochemistry and pharmacology , the Hill equation refers to two closely related equations that reflect the binding of ligands to macromolecules, as a function of the ligand concentration .
It is a key mediator of anabolic activities in numerous tissues and cells, such as growth hormone-stimulated growth, metabolism and protein translation. [17] Due to its participation in the GH-IGF-1 axis it contributes among other things to the maintenance of muscle strength, muscle mass, development of the skeleton and is a key factor in brain ...
Growth hormone is a peptide hormone secreted by the pituitary gland that stimulates growth and cell reproduction. In the past, growth hormone was extracted from human pituitary glands. Growth hormone is now produced by recombinant DNA technology and is prescribed for a variety of reasons. GH therapy has been a focus of social and ethical ...
A growth factor is a naturally occurring substance capable of stimulating cell proliferation, wound healing, and occasionally cellular differentiation. [1] Usually it is a secreted protein or a steroid hormone .
