[edit] Description
Growth hormone variant precursor (GH-V) (Placenta-specific growthhormone) (Growth hormone 2).
[edit] Source Organism
Macaca mulatta (Rhesus macaque).
[edit] Taxomomy
Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini;Catarrhini; Cercopithecidae; Cercopithecinae; Macaca.
[edit] Subcellular Localization
Secreted protein (By similarity).
[edit] Developmental Stage
[edit] Similarity
Belongs to the somatotropin/prolactin family.
[edit] Post translational Modification
[edit] Function
Plays an important role in growth control. Its major role in stimulating body growth is to stimulate the liver and other tissues to secrete IGF-1. It stimulates both the differentiation and proliferation of myoblasts. It also stimulates amino acid uptake and protein synthesis in muscle and other tissues
