Human Gene Set: HP_ABNORMAL_GROWTH_HORMONE_LEVEL


Standard name HP_ABNORMAL_GROWTH_HORMONE_LEVEL
Systematic name M38540
Brief description Abnormal growth hormone level
Full description or abstract Any deviation from the normal level of growth hormone (GH) in the blood circulation. GH or somatotropin is a peptide hormone that stimulates growth, cell reproduction, and cell regeneration. Its secretion from the pituitary is regulated by the neurosecretory nuclei of the hypothalamus, which can release Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH or somatocrinin) and Growth hormone-inhibiting hormone (GHIH or somatostatin) into the hypophyseal portal venous blood surrounding the pituitary. GH is secreted in a pulsatile manner, which is one of the reasons why an isolated measurement of its blood concentration is not meaningful. []
