Transgenic upregulation of this protein causes increased willingness to feed at the expense of predator avoidance in rainbow trout, which can express its "all fish" version.

Arginine can be used to diagnose deficiencies of this non-ACTH protein as an alternative to the insulin tolerance test. Andrzej Bartke won the Methuselah Foundation's MPrize for mouse longevity by knocking out this protein's receptor, which is also defective in (*) Laron syndrome. Cows often develop mastitis after treatment with a recombinant analogue of this protein, the release of which is stimulated by its secretagogue ghrelin and inhibited by somatostatin. This protein stimulates the production of IGF-1 and is produced with the related prolactin in acidophilic cells of the anterior pituitary. For 10 points, name this signaling peptide that has anabolic effects on the liver, bone and skeletal muscle.
