Pegvisomant is an approved drug (FDA (2003), EMA (2008))
Comment: Pegvisomant is a PEGylated 191 amino acid protein analogue of growth hormone, with antagonist action at the growth hormone receptor. The peptide sequence can be obtained via the ChEMBL link. PEGylation protects the peptide from proteolytic breakdown and extends its bioactive half-life.
Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
Pegvisomant inhibits the ability of endogenous growth hormone to interact with the growth hormone receptor, the aim of which is to normalize serum IGF-I levels in acromegalic patients].

生化机理
Plays an important role in growth control. Its major role in stimulating body growth is to stimulate the liver and other tissues to secrete IGF1. It stimulates both the differentiation and proliferation of myoblasts. It also stimulates amino acid uptake and protein synthesis in muscle and other tissues. Circulating GH shows a great heterogeneity due to alternative splicing, differential post-translational modifications of monomeric forms, oligomerization, optional binding to 2 different GH-binding proteins, and potentially proteolytic processing.
