Modified molecule. Disulfide-bonded fragment of human growth hormone.
Backbone carries modifications, so computed backbone mass is not comparable to the reported mass of the complete molecule.

The 14-Kilodalton Human Growth Hormone Fragment a Potent Inhibitor of Angiogenesis and Tumor Metastasis — International journal of molecular sciences 2023
The 14-kilodalton human growth hormone (14 kDa hGH) N-terminal fragment derived from the proteolytic cleavage of its full-length counterpart has been shown to sustain antiangiogenic potentials. This study investigated the antitumoral and antimetastatic effects of 14 kDa hGH on B16-F10 murine melanoma cells. B16-F10 murine melanoma cells transfected with 14 kDa hGH expression vectors showed a significant reduction in cellular proliferation and migration associated with an increase in cell apoptosis in vitro. In vivo, 14 kDa hGH mitigated tumor growth and metastasis of B16-F10 cells and was associated with a significant reduction in tumor angiogenesis. Similarly, 14 kDa hGH expression reduced human brain microvascular endothelial (HBME) cell proliferation, migration, and tube formation abilities and triggered apoptosis in vitro. The antiangiogenic effects of 14 kDa hGH on HBME cells were a…

Human Growth Hormone Fragment 176-191 Peptide Enhances the Toxicity of Doxorubicin-Loaded Chitosan Nanoparticles Against MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cells — Drug design, development and therapy 2022
IntroductionNumerous drugs with potent toxicity against cancer cells are available for treating malignancies, but therapeutic efficacies are limited due to their inefficient tumor targeting and deleterious effects on non-cancerous tissue. Therefore, two improvements are mandatory for improved chemotherapy 1) novel delivery techniques that can target cancer cells to deliver anticancer drugs and 2) methods to specifically enhance drug efficacy within tumors. The loading of inert drug carriers with anticancer agents and peptides which are able to bind (target) tumor-related proteins to enhance tumor drug accumulation and local cytotoxicity is a most promising approach.ObjectiveTo evaluate the anticancer efficacy of Chitosan nanoparticles loaded with human growth hormone hGH fragment 176-191 peptide plus the clinical chemotherapeutic doxorubicin in comparison with Chitosan loaded with doxoru…
