Related Product Information for anti-GHR antibody

GHR (growth hormone receptor) binds growth hormone (GH), which is produced by the anterior pituitary and regulates body growth and other metabolic processes. GHR is an integral membrane protein and a member of the cytokine receptor family. A common characteristic of the cytokine receptor family is having soluble forms of the protein. The soluble form of GHR is GH-binding protein (GHBP), which is generated by the proteolytic cleavage of the extracellular domain of GHR (2-4). Reduced levels of GHBP are associated with GH insensitivity syndrome (GHIS) (2, 4). GHR has been shown to be transcribed via at least two different promoters, resulting in GHR 1A and GHR 1B. Both GHR 1A and 1B are expressed in liver, whereas GHR 1B is also expressed in muscle, uterus, and ovary tissues.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes a member of the type I cytokine receptor family, which is a transmembrane receptor for growth hormone. Binding of growth hormone to the receptor leads to receptor dimerization and the activation of an intra- and intercellular signal transduction pathway leading to growth. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Laron syndrome, also known as the growth hormone insensitivity syndrome (GHIS), a disorder characterized by short stature. In humans and rabbits, but not rodents, growth hormone binding protein (GHBP) is generated by proteolytic cleavage of the extracellular ligand-binding domain from the mature growth hormone receptor protein. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011]

Uniprot Description

GH receptor: Receptor for pituitary gland growth hormone involved in regulating postnatal body growth. On ligand binding, couples to the JAK2/STAT5 pathway. Defects in GHR are a cause of Laron syndrome (LARS). A severe form of growth hormone insensitivity characterized by growth impairment, short stature, dysfunctional growth hormone receptor, and failure to generate insulin-like growth factor I in response to growth hormone. Defects in GHR may be a cause of idiopathic short stature autosomal (ISSA). Short stature is defined by a subnormal rate of growth. Belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. Type 1 subfamily. 4 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
