GHR rabbit pAb

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],

Subcellular Location

Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. On growth hormone binding, GHR is ubiquitinated, internalized, down-regulated and transported into a degradative or non-degradative pathway. .; [Isoform 2]: Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Remains fixed to the cell membrane and is not internalized.; [Growth hormone-binding protein]: Secreted. Complexed to a substantial fraction of circulating GH. .
