Biosynthesis of Growth Hormone and Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I and the Regulation of their Secretion
نویسنده
چکیده
This report reviews the current knowledge on the biosynthesis, regulation and secretion of Growth Hormone (GH) and Insulin-like Growth factor-I (IGF-I). Variants of human GH, molecular size variants as well as charge variants, and the GH binding protein will be discussed, and the regulation of expression of the hGH gene is reviewed. IGF-I expression, regulation of the igf-I gene and secretion is discussed and a separate section on the influence of the six IGF binding proteins is included.

متن کاملEffects of zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) in diet on the growth performance and gene expression of Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and Ghrelin in goldfish (Carassius auratus)
The zinc element (Zn) is one of the micronutrients and an essential element of the body which has some deleterious and irreparable effects on growth in case of lack it. Thus, we aimed to assess IGF-1 in goldfish with Zn deficiency and to investigate the effect of Zn supplementation on these parameters. Goldfish (Carassius auratus) juvenile (3.5 g) were fed purified diets based on casein as ...
متن کاملANTISENSE RNA TO THE TYPE I INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR RECEPTOR REVERSED THE TRANSFORMED PHENOTYPE OF PC-3 HUMAN PROSTATE CANCER CELL LINE IN VITRO
The insulin-like growth factor I receptor (IGF-IR) plays an essential role in the establishment and maintenance of transformed phenotype. Interference with the IGF-IR pathway by antisense causes reversal of the transformed phenotype in many rodent and human tumor cell lines. We stably transfected the PC-3 human prostate cancer cell line with an IGF-IR antisense RNA expression plasmid. The ...
