Human growth hormone (hGH) complexed with receptor. Molecular model showing the human growth hormone mutant G120R (orange) complexed with two receptor molecules (blue). hGH is produced in the anterior pituitary gland of the brain. It binds to specific receptors on cells in the body to stimulate growth, especially in childhood.
