Growth hormone (GH or HGH), also known as somatotropin or somatropin, is a peptide hormone that stimulates growth, cell reproduction and regeneration in humans and other animals. It is a type of mitogen which is specific only to certain kinds of cells.
Growth hormone is a protein produced by the pituitary gland, which is a pea-sized gland located below the brain. Growth hormone is one of the hormones critical for normal growth in children and adolescents, and it is also involved in regulating metabolism. In adults, growth hormone deficiency is extremely rare. Growth hormone deficiency in children and adults is treated by injections of recombinant human growth hormone, or rHGH.
