DescriptionSomatotropin (Growth hormone).
Source organismLoxodonta africana (African elephant)
Taxonomical ClassificationEukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Mammalia; Eutheria; Afrotheria; Proboscidea; Elephantidae; Loxodonta.
Subcellular locationSecreted protein
Developmental StageN/A
Similarity Belongs to the somatotropin/prolactin family.
Tissue SpecificityN/A
Post translational modification N/A
FunctionPlays 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
Protein Length190 Amino acids
Molecular weight21761
