Acromegaly

Information about Acromegaly: characteristics, related genes and pathways, plus antibodies you can use for research. This page is being enriched constantly, if you see some information you would like this page to include please send your suggestions to us.

Overview of Acromegaly

Most recent studies have shown that Acromegaly shares some biological mechanisms with adenoma, adenoma-chromophobe, cushing-syndrome, diabetes-mellitus, endocrine-system-diseases, gigantism, growth-hormone-secreting-pituitary-adenoma, hyperprolactinemia, hypertensive-disease, hyperthyroidism, hypertrophy, hypopituitarism, hypothyroidism, malignant-neoplasms, neoplasms, pituitary-adenoma, pituitary-dependent-cushings-disease, pituitary-diseases, pituitary-neoplasms, prolactinoma.

Among the many pathways, these few ones have gauged particular interests from scientists studying Acromegaly, and have been seen in publications frequently: Bone Resorption, Cell Growth, Cell Proliferation, Circadian Rhythm, Excretion, Gallstone Formation, Glomerular Filtration, Glucose Homeostasis, Growth Hormone Secretion, Hormone Secretion, Insulin Secretion, Localization, Ovulation, Pathogenesis, Pigmentation, Prolactin Secretion, Regulation Of Growth, Secretion, Sulfation, Transport

Quite a number of genes have been found to play important roles in Acromegaly, such as BRD2, GCG, GGH, GH1, GHR, GHRH, IGF1, IGF2, IGFBP3, INS, PBX1, POMC, PRL, PTPRF, RAI1, SMS, SST, TRH. See what Boster has to offer for the research of these genes by clicking the gene name links below and view a more detailed info card/product listing for that gene.

In a later update, we will include information such as current drugs and therapy solutions as well as on-going and past clinical trials for this disease. Plesae stay updated.
