Table 1 Relative abundance of hGH molecular forms in circulation (adapted from Bidlingmaier et al6). The percentages are approximate.
Isoforms | Per cent |
---|---|
22 kDa monomer | 48 |
20 kDa monomer | 9 |
Modified hGH (dimers and oligomers) | 30 |
Acidic hGH (desaminated and acylated forms) | 7 |
Fragmented hGH (17, 12, 5, 30 kDa) | Variable |
