GHRF, porcine

Names

[ Name ]:
GHRF, porcine

[Synonym ]:
GHRF, porcine

Biological Activity

[Description]:

GHRF, porcine is a growth hormone releasing factor (GHRF) peptide (porcine). GHRF binds to GHSR and induces the release of growth hormone[1][2].

Research Areas >> Endocrinology

Signaling Pathways >> GPCR/G Protein >> GHSR

[In Vitro]

GHRF, porcine (50 pM) induces GH release in rat anterior pituitary cells[1].

[In Vivo]

GHRF, porcine (0.5 μg/kg, i.v.) increases plasma concentrations of porcine somatotropin (pST) in pigs[2]. Animal Model: Pigs[2] Dosage: 0.5 μg/kg Administration: Intravenous injection (i.v.) Result: Increased plasma concentrations of porcine somatotropin (pST) in control pigs, without any pST response in pST-treated pigs.
