| Subcellular Location | Secreted |
| Developmental Stage | NA |
| Similarity | Belongs to the somatotropin/prolactin family. |
| Tissue Specificity | NA |
| Post Translational Modification | NA |
| 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 |
