MeSH Heading: Somatomedins
Tree Number(s): D12.644.276.742.500; D12.776.124.862; D12.776.467.742.500; D23.529.742.500
Unique ID: D013002
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D013002
Scope Note: Insulin-like polypeptides made by the liver and some fibroblasts and released into the blood when stimulated by SOMATOTROPIN. They cause sulfate incorporation into collagen, RNA, and DNA synthesis, which are prerequisites to cell division and growth of the organism.
Entry Term(s): Somatomedin; Sulfation Factor
NLM Classification #: QU 107
