The growth hormone 1 encoded by GH1 is a member of the somatotropin/prolactin family of hormones which play an important role in growth control. The gene, along with four other related genes, is located at the growth hormone locus on chromosome 17 where they are interspersed in the same transcriptional orientation; an arrangement which is thought to have evolved by a series of gene duplications. The five genes share a remarkably high degree of sequence identity. Alternative splicing generates additional isoforms of each of the five growth hormones, leading to further diversity and potential for specialization. This particular family member is expressed in the pituitary but not in placental tissue as is the case for the other four genes in the growth hormone locus. Mutations in or deletions of the gene lead to growth hormone deficiency and short stature.

Growth hormone 1 (GH1), also known as somatotropin or human growth hormone (hGH), is a pituitary peptide hormone central to somatic growth and metabolic regulation. ABMIUM catalogue products linked below support research on GH1 biology.
Biological function: Growth hormone 1 (GH1/somatotropin/hGH) is a pituitary-derived peptide hormone that promotes postnatal body growth and influences protein, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. GH1 signals through the growth hormone receptor and contributes to induction of insulin-like growth factor pathways that mediate many growth-promoting effects.
