The Amino Acid Composition of Human Pituitary Growth Hormone
نویسندگان
چکیده
The amino acid content in human hypophyseal growth hormone has been determined by chromatography on resin columns. On the basis of 29,000 for the molecular weight, the empirical formula of the hormone was obtained: lys(13)his(5)arg(14)asp(27) thr(14)ser(23)glu(34)pro(12)gly(13)ala(12)-(1/2 cys)(6)val(12)met(4)-ileu(10)leu(31)tyr(10)phe(15)try(1)(NH(3))(32).

A naturally occurring structural variant of human growth hormone.
A structural variant of human growth hormone was isolated from pituitary extracts. The newly recognized modification had a molecular weight of 20,000 when analyzed by electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate, whereas human growth hormone gave a value near 22,000. By isoelectric focusing the variant had a p1 of 5.85; human growth hormone had a value of 5.6. All extracts of 30 individual fresh f...
متن کاملPhylogenetic and sequence analysis of the growth hormone gene of two sturgeons, Huso huso and Acipenser Gueldenstaedtii
In this study, the cDNA Growth Hormone (cGH) of the Belugasturgeon (Husohuso) and Russian sturgeon (Acipensergueldenstaedtii) were cloned and sequenced, and phylogenetic relationships were examined using nucleic acid and amino acid sequences. The nucleotide sequence of the Beluga GH has an open reading frame of 645 nucleotides encoding a protein 214 amino acid residues. The signal peptide cleav...
متن کاملCompensatory growth, proximate composition and amino acid contents after experiencing cycles of feed deprivation and re-feeding in young yellow catfish (Pelteobagrus fulvidraco R.)
The compensatory growth, proximate composition and amino acid contents changes of young yellow catfish (Pelteobagrus fulvidraco R.) (1.63-1.69 g) had been investigated using a 45-day cyclic feed deprivation and re-feeding experiment. The control group (S0) was fed daily with live tubificid worms (Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri), while the S1/4, S1/2, and S1/1 groups cyclically experienced one-day of ...
متن کاملN-terminal amino acid analysis of growth hormones from human, monkey, whale, and beef pituitary glands.
The isolation of growth hormone (somatotropin) from human, monkey, and whale pituitary glands has recently been reported (l-3). Preliminary studies on the hormone proteins from these species have suggested that phenylalanine is their sole N-terminal amino acid residue (l-3), in contrast to the two N-terminal residues, alanine and phenylalanine, which have been reported for the bovine somatotrop...
متن کاملThe subunits of human pituitary thyroid-stimulating hormone. Isolation, properties, and composition.
The subunits, cy and /3, of human thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) from the pituitary have been obtained by the same procedures utilized for the preparation of bovine TSH subunits, namely, dissociation in 1 M propionic acid and separation by gel filtration. The amino acid composition of human TSH-(r indicates that this subunit is identical or nearly so with the CY subunits of human luteinizing...
