GH1

Symbol: GH1
Name: Growth hormone 1
Alias: BOS_19247; GH; somatotropin
Entrez gene ID: 280804
Ensembl gene ID: ENSBTAG00000017220
Species: Cow
Function:
Stimulation of growth and proliferation

Observation:

Transgenic mice overexpressing bovine GH1 are bigger than controls and display early onset of pathological changes in the kidneys such glomerulosis and glomerulonephritis as well as signs of premature aging such as a shortened lifespan, increased astrogliosis, shortened reproductive lifepsan and early onset of age-related changes in cognitive function, hypothalamic neurotransmitter turnover, and plasma corticosterone levels [14583653].
