Body Pharm Somatropin 40 (HGH)

Overview

Body Pharm Somatropin 40 (HGH) is the smaller-quantity pen in the Somatropin range: a sealed, pre-filled multi-dose research pen containing 40 IU of somatropin — recombinant human growth hormone, the 191-amino-acid polypeptide identical in sequence to pituitary-derived human growth hormone — in solution.

The pen is a laboratory research material. It is supplied strictly for laboratory research and is not for human or veterinary use. It is not a medicine, food, dietary supplement or cosmetic, and no medical, therapeutic or performance claims are made or implied. No dosing information is provided.

Research background

Recombinant somatropin is the reference ligand for the growth-hormone receptor (GHR), a class 1 cytokine receptor that signals through JAK2/STAT5 and drives hepatic IGF-1 production [1]. In the laboratory it is used in GHR binding and signalling assays, IGF-1 axis studies and preclinical models of somatotropic-axis biology [1][2]. The 40 IU and 100 IU pens contain the same compound at the same concentration; only the fill quantity differs.
