[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
