The diagnostic and therapeutic importance of human growth hormone isoforms

Recent Pat DNA Gene Seq. 2011 Apr;5(1):55-67. doi: 10.2174/187221511794839228.

Abstract

The study of human growth hormone isoforms has conduced to the elaboration of patents related to very important items: codifying and regulatory sequences, production of the protein at large-scale, modifications to prolong half-life as monomer, dimer and fusion protein for treatments directed to growth-associated diseases. The designs to identification and quantification of hGH are besides the formers establishing very important basis of patented sources that can be used for a specific and opportune diagnosis and treatment of biological abnormalities or undesirable effects when these growth hormones are involved.
