Descriptor hormona del crecimiento humana
Entry term(s) somatotropina (humana)
somatropina (humana)
Scope note: Hormona formada por 191 aminoácidos y segregada por la ADENOHIPÓFISIS humana, conocida también como GH o somatotropina. La hormona del crecimiento sintética, la somatropina, es un sustituto de la hormona natural que se utiliza como tratamiento del enanismo en niños con deficiencia de hormona del crecimiento.

Scope note: A 191-amino acid polypeptide hormone secreted by the human adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR), also known as GH or somatotropin. Synthetic growth hormone, termed somatropin, has replaced the natural form in therapeutic usage such as treatment of dwarfism in children with growth hormone deficiency.
