Height Growth Protein Map

 Key: 
- downregulate
+ upregulate
-> transcription regulation
+/- means the result is dose or experiment dependent


Okay here's a draft of the genetic regulation involved height growth.  We want to focus mainly on the genes that promote chondrogenesis although eventually we'll go through genes that maximize height.  These up- and down- regulations may not happen all the time but showed up in at least one study and may be dose and/or environment dependent.


Key factors in initiating height growth seem to be inhibiting the NFKappaB pathway and Runx2.   Although this study here shows no effect of Runx2 on bone length. Sox9 and the interplay between TGFBeta1 and BMP2 seem key to initiating a new growth plate.  Finding the TGF and BMP Smad interplay will be key in developing therapies to grow taller as will PTH/IHH interplay.


Posting this now to get feedback on genes/interactions I'm missing.  Eventually I'll draw a graphic representing the interaction.  Also, take note of Harpogoside and Acteoside which inhibit NFKappaB activity.  Two supplements that I looked at earlier that take on additional relevance now due to the importance of NFKappaB on height growth.


Also, tomorrow I'll be posting an LSJL finger update.

  2. missed crucial hormones testostorone and growth hormone and whats all this about estrogen have you seen how small and skinny the average girl is compared to a male the less of that girly hormone floating around my system the better.

  4. "hey Tyler
    can you look up on the term :
    "Pseudo-reactivation of growth plate""

    I just searched some. It's patients with TIO that get that? which is because of elevated FGF23?
    And Calcium defiency reduces FGF23 levels, (just google)

    So Calcium defiency lead to faster growth plate closure?
    or maybe adequate levels of Calcium lead to a longer opened growthplate, because FGF23 levels are still high, thus "reactivating/not closing" the plate?
