Bank's hypertranscendency conjecture for perturbations of the gamma function

Let hh be an entire function, let Γ\Gamma denote the Euler gamma function, and let M0\mathcal{M}_0 be the field of meromorphic functions yy satisfying T(r,y)=o(r)T(r,y)=o(r) as rr\rightarrow\infty outside a set of finite measure. Bank's conjecture. The function

Γeh\Gamma e^h

should be hypertranscendental over M0\mathcal{M}_0, meaning that it satisfies no nontrivial algebraic differential equation with coefficients in M0\mathcal{M}_0. Bank posed this question to determine whether the hypertranscendency of Γ\Gamma is caused by the nature of its poles and zeros; the conjecture is stated here without evidence of a resolution.
