The Somatotropin family is a protein family whose titular representative is somatotropin, also known as growth hormone, a hormone that plays an important role in growth control.^[1] Other members include choriomammotropin (lactogen), its placental analogue;^[2] prolactin, which promotes lactation in the mammary gland, and placental prolactin-related proteins;^[3] proliferin and proliferin related protein;^[4] and somatolactin from various fishes.^[5]^[6] The 3D structure of bovine somatotropin has been predicted using a combination of heuristics and energy minimisation.^[7]
