Human Growth Hormone

Growth Hormone (hGH, Somatotropin) secreted from the anterior pituitary is a polypeptide with two intra-chain disulfide bridges, which circulates free or bound to number of different GH-binding proteins. Several forms of growth hormone have been identified with the major being of molecular weight 22,000 Daltons containing 191 amino acid residues.

The Fortress Diagnostics Human Growth Hormone (HGH) assay is intended for use in the quantitative determination of Growth Hormone concentration in Human serum by a Microplate Immunoenzymometric assay.
