Summary: This gene encodes a hormone that has stimulatory effects on pituitary growth hormone synthesis and release, and somatotrope expansion. The encoded preproprotein undergoes proteolytic processing to generate the mature peptide that is secreted by hypothalamus. Mice lacking the encoded protein are deficient in the growth hormone, live longer and exhibit growth retardation, enhanced insulin sensitivity and increased xenobiotic metabolism.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
