Somatropin
Somatropin is the pharmaceutical name for recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH)—a synthetic form of endogenous growth hormone (GH) produced in the anterior pituitary. It is identical in structure to naturally occurring GH, consisting of 191 amino acids (just like GH 191AA), and is used in both clinical hormone therapy and performance enhancement.
Somatropin works by binding to growth hormone receptors (GHRs) in various tissues. This binding stimulates:
Liver production of IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1)
Protein synthesis and muscle growth
Fat breakdown (lipolysis)
Bone density improvement
Cellular repair and regeneration
It promotes overall growth, tissue repair, metabolism, and recovery, making it a key therapeutic hormone for both children and adults.
