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. |
Tissue specificity : |
Expressed in various tissues with high expression in liver and skeletal muscle. Isoform 4 is predominantly expressed in kidney, bladder, adrenal gland and brain stem. Isoform 1 expression in placenta is predominant in chorion and decidua. Isoform 4 is hig |
Biological activity : |
Biological Activity: GHR-28188TH is fully biologically active as evidenced by its ability of forming 2:1 complex with HGH. |
Form : |
Lyophilised:It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Growth Hormone Binding Protein in sterile 18MO-cm H2O not less than 100μg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
