HGH (Somatropin) 15iu

Overview

Human growth hormone (HGH, somatropin) is a 191-amino-acid protein that plays a central role in growth, cellular repair, and metabolism. As a research reference material it is used to study GH receptor signalling and downstream IGF-1 production.

This product is supplied as 15iu of lyophilised powder for laboratory reconstitution and is intended strictly for research applications.

Mechanism of action

HGH binds the growth hormone receptor (GHR), triggering JAK2/STAT signalling that drives transcription of growth- and metabolism-related genes.

A major downstream effect is hepatic production of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), which mediates many of the anabolic and regenerative effects observed in the literature.

Research highlights

GH signalling is one of the most extensively characterised endocrine pathways, with research spanning growth regulation, protein synthesis, lipolysis, and tissue repair in model systems.

Reference-grade somatropin is commonly used to calibrate assays and study receptor pharmacology.

Reference dosing

Pharmaceutical GH in the clinical literature follows tightly controlled IU-based schedules dosed daily or near-daily. This product is a research reference material and is not for human administration.

Storage & handling

Store lyophilised vials refrigerated at 2-8C, protected from light. Reconstituted solution should be kept refrigerated and used promptly per protocol.
