Human growth hormone molecule F006 / 9683
Human growth hormone. Molecular model of human growth hormone (hGH, orange) bound to the extracellular domain of the human growth hormone binding protein (hGHBP). hGH is produced in the anterior pituitary gland of the brain. It binds to specific receptors on cells in the body to stimulate growth, especially in childhood. It is also involved in strengthening bone, increasing muscle mass, reducing glucose uptake by the liver and promoting the breakdown of body fat

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of Human Growth Hormone (hGH), a vital protein responsible for stimulating growth and regulating various physiological processes in the human body. The image depicts a detailed model of hGH, represented in vibrant orange, bound to the extracellular domain of the Human Growth Hormone Binding Protein (hGHBP). Produced within the anterior pituitary gland of the brain, hGH plays a crucial role in promoting growth during childhood by binding to specific receptors on cells throughout the body. However, its influence extends far beyond just height enhancement. This remarkable hormone also contributes to strengthening bones, increasing muscle mass, reducing glucose uptake by the liver, and facilitating fat breakdown. The white background accentuates every strand and fold of this complex molecule's tertiary structure. From alpha helices to beta sheets, each element is meticulously illustrated with precision and accuracy. This scientific artwork not only serves as an aesthetic marvel but also aids researchers and medical professionals in understanding hGH's biochemical properties. With its emphasis on biology and medicine, this print from LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY offers valuable insights into proteomics and endocrinology research. It exemplifies how art can merge seamlessly with healthcare advancements while providing an engaging visual representation of one of our body's most essential molecules - Human Growth Hormone.
