somatotropin
Somatomedins are a group of proteins that promote cell growth and division in response to stimulation by growth hormone (GH) also known as somatotropin (STH). (wikipedia.org)

Kowarski syndrome describes cases of growth failure (height and bone age two standard deviations below the mean for age), despite the presence of normal or slightly high blood growth hormone by radioimmunoassay (RIA-GH) and low serum IGF1 (formerly called somatomedin), and who exhibit a significant increase in growth rate following recombinant GH therapy. (wikipedia.org)
vitronectin
Somatomedin B is a serum factor of unknown function, is a small cysteine-rich peptide, derived proteolytically from the N-terminus of the cell-substrate adhesion protein vitronectin. (wikipedia.org)
The SMB domain of vitronectin has been demonstrated to interact with both the urokinase receptor and the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and the conserved cysteines of the NPP1 somatomedin B-like domain have been shown to mediate homodimerization. (wikipedia.org)

(docme.ru)
The effect of sex steroids on radioimmunoassayable plasma somatomedin C concentrations. (wikipedia.org)
the somatostatin neurons respond to high circulating concentrations of growth hormone and somatomedins by increasing the release of somatostatin, so reducing the rate of secretion of growth hormone. (wikipedia.org)
Somatomedin C and other growth factors are defined as protein peptides manufactured in the liver and play a role in growth hormone activities. (steroidly.com)
binds
A somatomedin (IGF) receptor is a receptor which binds the somatomedins (IGFs). (wikipedia.org)
The protein consists of three domains: The N-terminal Somatomedin B domain (1-39) A central domains with hemopexin homology (131-342) A C-terminal domain (residues 347-459) also with hemopexin homology. (wikipedia.org)
The cDNA encodes a protein of 1,404 amino acids (human A isoform) with a somatomedin B homology domain, heparin-binding domains, multiple mucin-like repeats, a hemopexin domain, and an aggregation domain. (wikipedia.org)
Somatomedins are secreted and activated in response to growth hormone . (dictionary.com)
In addition to their actions that stimulate growth, somatomedins also stimulate production of somatostatin, which suppresses growth hormone release. (wikipedia.org)
Thus, levels of somatomedins are controlled via negative feedback through the intermediates of somatostatin and growth hormone. (wikipedia.org)
These hormone were assigned in 1978 to the family of somatomedins (Rinderknecht and Humbel, 1978a, 1978b). (bioclinica.com)

The somatomedin B domain is a close-knit disulfide knot, with 4 disulfide bonds within 35 residues. (wikipedia.org)
secretion
Somatomedins inhibit the release of growth hormones by acting directly on anterior pituitary and by stimulating the secretion of somatostatin from the hypothalamus. (wikipedia.org)
Somatomedins are produced, predominantly by the liver, when growth hormones act on target tissue. (wikipedia.org)
Cys-rich somatomedin B-like domains are found in a number of proteins, including plasma-cell membrane glycoprotein (which has nucleotide pyrophosphate and alkaline phosphodiesterase I activities) and placental protein 11 (which appears to possess amidolytic activity). (wikipedia.org)
