Summary: Enables SH2 domain binding activity; enzyme binding activity; and growth hormone receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including activation of Janus kinase activity; cell surface receptor signaling pathway via JAK-STAT; and cellular response to peptide hormone stimulus. Located in extracellular space and neuronal cell body. Biomarker of congenital hypothyroidism; muscular atrophy; osteopetrosis; and osteoporosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Laron syndrome; familial hypercholesterolemia; isolated growth hormone deficiency; osteoarthritis; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human GHR (growth hormone receptor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Compared to the rats in the control group, the rats in the HF group had the expression levels of 12 genes with significant changes, Agrp, Ghrl, and Nr3c1, Apoa4, Cntf, Ghr, IL-1beta, Ins1, Lepr,Sort, Adcyap1r1 and Adrb1.

The growth hormone receptor expression in the brain was lower during fetal period than in adults, while in the pituitary gland, the expression is markedly higher in fetuses, suggesting a yet unknown role of growth hormone in the development of this organ.

Insulin signaling via either the PI-3 kinase or MEK/ERK pathway may result in partial reduction of GHR gene expression, whereas signaling via both pathways may be required to achieve the full insulin effect.

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.
