Humatrope (somatotropin or somatropin) is a polypeptide hormone of recombinant DNA origin. Manufactured by Eli Lilly and Company, it is used to stimulate linear growth in pediatric patients who lack adequate normal human growth hormone.It has 191 amino acid residues and a molecular weight of 22,125 daltons.ts amino acid sequence is identical to that of human growth hormone of pituitary origin (anterior lobe). Humatrope is synthesized in a strain of E. coli modified by the addition of a gene for human growth hormone.
This deficiency in growth hormone typically results in a slower rate of growth (growth failure) and may cause other symptoms as well. Humatrope is indicated to treat only the growth failure associated with growth hormone deficiency.umatrope is used to treat children who are short or growing slowly because they do not make enough growth hormone on their own. Growth hormone deficiency occurs when the pituitary gland â a small pea-sized gland located at the base of the brain â produces an inadequate amount of growth hormone.
