Proteomics (Proteome ID):

Growth hormone receptor (GH receptor) (Somatotropin receptor) [Cleaved into: Growth hormone-binding protein (GH-binding protein) (GHBP) (Serum-binding protein)]

Proteomics (Chromosome):

UP000005640

Mass Spectrometry:

N/A

Function [CC]:

Receptor for pituitary gland growth hormone involved in regulating postnatal body growth. On ligand binding, couples to the JAK2/STAT5 pathway (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.; The soluble form (GHBP) acts as a reservoir of growth hormone in plasma and may be a modulator/inhibitor of GH signaling.; Isoform 2 up-regulates the production of GHBP and acts as a negative inhibitor of GH signaling.

Metal Binding:

N/A

Site:

SITE 345 345 Required for endocytosis and down-regulation. {ECO:0000250}.

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 highly expressed in placental villi. Isoform 2 is expressed in lung, stomach and muscle. Low levels in liver.

Disease:

Laron syndrome (LARS) [MIM:262500]: 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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10870033, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14678285, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2779634, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8137822, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8450064, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8504296, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9024232, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9661642, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9851797}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; Growth hormone insensitivity, partial (GHIP) [MIM:604271]: A disease characterized by partial resistance to growth hormone resulting in short stature. Short stature is defined by a standing height more than 2 standard deviations below the mean (or below the 2.5 percentile) for sex and chronological age, compared with a well-nourished, healthy, genetically relevant population. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7565946}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Mutagenesis:

MUTAGEN 260 260 E->A: No change in shedding activity: No change in hormone binding. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11785980}.; MUTAGEN 261 261 E->A: No change in shedding activity: No change in hormone binding. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11785980}.; MUTAGEN 262 262 D->A: No change in shedding activity: No change in hormone binding. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11785980}.
