Human Growth Hormone (HGH) – Raw Material Introduction

Human Growth Hormone (HGH), also known as somatotropin, is a peptide hormone produced naturally by the pituitary gland. As a raw material, recombinant human growth hormone (rHGH) is synthesized using biotechnological methods, typically through genetic engineering in E. coli or mammalian cell cultures.
