Summary: Enables growth hormone-releasing hormone activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cardiac muscle cell apoptotic process; positive regulation of cell communication; and positive regulation of circadian sleep/wake cycle, non-REM sleep. Located in axon terminus; extracellular space; and perikaryon. Used to study myocardial infarction and prostatic hypertrophy. Biomarker of sleep disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1; endometrial cancer; ovarian cancer; and renal cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human GHRH (growth hormone releasing hormone). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
Expression: Biased expression in Testes (RPKM 1.8), Brain (RPKM 0.7) and 2 other tissues See more

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
