Summary for Patent: 5,958,879
Title: | Growth hormone receptor antagonists and methods of reducing growth hormone activity in a mammal |
Abstract: | The present invention relates to antagonists of vertebrate growth hormones obtained by mutation of the third alpha helix of such proteins (especially bovine or human GHs). These mutants have growth-inhibitory or other GH-antagonizing effects. These novel hormones may be administered exogenously to mammals. The antagonists may be used to reduce the activity of growth hormone in a mammal, especially one suffering from diabetes, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy, a growth hormone secreting tumor, acromegaly, or gigantism. |
