Anti-GH antibodies are protein reagents that detect specific antigens. The GH antigen is another term for the human protein growth hormone 1, encoded by the GH1 gene. The protein is known to play an important role in growth control. Canonically, it has an amino acid length of 217 residues and a mass of 24.8 kilodaltons. It is a secreted protein and it is expressed in the pituitary gland and placenta. The GH protein is a member of the Somatotropin/prolactin protein family. Other alias names for GH include GH-N. Some GH antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
