| Description : |
Human growth hormone receptor (GHR) is the transmembrane protein receptor for growth hormone and a member of the Type I cytokine receptor family of receptors. GHR is also known as GH binding protein (GHBP) and GHIP. GHR contains an extracellular domain with two fibronectin type III β domains followed by a single-pass transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic intracellular domain. GHR can form dimers as preformed dimer and growth hormone induced dimer. GHR dimerization is crucial for growth hormone signaling to activate an intracellular enzyme Janus kinase 2 (JAK2). GHR is widely distributed in the body, and the preformed GHR homodimer is expressed across a wide range of cellular types in different tissues. Mutations in the GHR gene have been associated with growth hormone insensitivity syndrome (GHIS) and growth hormone plays a significant role in cancer development. A recombinant protein mimicking the GHR dimer conformation can be crucial for therapeutic innovation. |
