Bushbaby growth hormone is much more similar to nonprimate growth hormones than to rhesus monkey and human growth hormones.
Unlike other mammals, Old World primates have five growth hormone-like genes that are highly divergent at the amino acid level from the single growth hormone genes found in nonprimates. Additionally, there is a change in the interaction of growth hormone with its receptor in humans such that human growth hormone functions in nonprimates, whereas nonprimate growth hormone is ineffective in human...
متن کاملFunctional promiscuity of squirrel monkey growth hormone receptor toward both primate and nonprimate growth hormones.
Primate growth hormone (GH) has evolved rapidly, having undergone approximately 30% amino acid substitutions from the inferred ancestral eutherian sequence. Nevertheless, human growth hormone (hGH) is physiologically effective when administered to nonprimate mammals. In contrast, its functional counterpart, the human growth hormone receptor (hGHR), has evolved species specificity so that it res...
متن کاملThe preparation of homogeneous monkey and human pituitary growth hormones.
Simian pituitary growth hormone was prepared in homogeneous form by sequential application of exclusion chromatography on Sephadex G-100, ion exchange chromatography on diethylaminoethyl Sephadex with a single eluent, and density gradient column electrophoresis. DEAESephadex chromatography with a single eluent was also used to separate two biologically active components of human pituitary growt...
متن کاملGrowth hormones. 1. Polymorphism (minireview).
Pituitary growth hormone (GH) is not a single molecular species, but a whole set of similar molecules, the individual specific characteristics of which constitute the polymorphism of this hormone. The present paper deals mainly with various forms of human GH, called "variants", and touches on this polymorphism in other species as well. The 22 K variant (MW = 22,000 daltons) is the predominant f...
متن کاملResponses of growth rates and growth hormone levels of African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) to stocking density
In order to estimate responses of growth rate and growth hormone of Clarias gariepinus to stocking density, fish (initial weight 30.71 ± 0.89 g) were stocked in 120-L tanks at densities of 35, 65, 95, and 125 kg/m3 for 60 days. On day 30 and 60, the fish growth rates were measured, pituitary growth hormone (GH) mRNA levels and serum GH concentrations were examined by real-time qPCR and ELISA te...
