Somatomedin is a growth hormone, that, when stimulated by somatotropin (STH), promotes cell growth and division ^[1]. In this way, they mediate the effect of somatotropin (another growth hormone). ^[2]).

They have similar biological effects to somatotropin.

Three forms include: >Zhou A (2007). "Functional structure of the somatomedin B domain of vitronectin". Protein Science. 16: 1502. doi:10.1110/ps.072819107. PMID 17567740.</ref>

somatomedin C, which is another name for insulin-like growth factor 1
