An analog of growth hormone, specifically the analog having a methionine residue at its N terminus and including residues identical to the residues at positions 1 through 32 and 40 through 191 inthe amino acid sequence of bovine growth hormone (i.e., rbGH1-32,40-191?), retains the diabetogenic, insulin-sparing and lipolytic properties of bovine growth hormone while being capable of improving growth in mammals and in salmon while also being capable of a marginal increase in milk production in mammals. |
