Anti-somatotropin antibodies are used in antigen-specific immunodetection in biological samples. The target somatotropin is a known alias name of the protein growth hormone 1, encoded by the GH1 gene in humans. This 217-amino acid residue protein is known to play an important role in growth control. The protein is secreted and features post-translational modifications. It is reported to be expressed in the pituitary gland and placenta. Other synonyms for somatotropin include GH, GH, and GH-N. ELISA is a widely used application for the somatotropin antibodies listed below. In addition, Western Blot is also a common application.
