Mechanism of GH Binding And  Signal Transduction IGF-I Dimerization GH has two binding sites,  each of which binds identical  cell surface receptor When both sites bind, dimerizing the  receptors, signal  transduction occurs
Growth Hormone Receptor Antagonist: Pegvisomant Site-1 Binding to GH Receptor Enhanced Site-2 binding disrupted Functional Dimerization  Prevented; Signal Transduction and IGF-I Production Do Not Occur
