| Description | Growth hormone receptor precursor (GH receptor) (Somatotropinreceptor) [Contains: Growth hormone-binding protein (GH-bindingprotein) (GHBP) (Serum-binding protein)]. |
| Source organism | Oryctolagus cuniculus (Rabbit) |
| Taxonomical Classification | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Lagomorpha; Leporidae;Oryctolagus. |
| Subcellular location | Cell membrane; single-pass type I membrane protein (By similarity). Note=On growth hormone binding, GHR is ubiquitinated, internalized, down-regulated and transported into a degradative or non-degradative pathway |
| Developmental Stage | N/A |
| Similarity | Belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. Type 1 subfamily. Contains 1 fibronectin type-III domain. |
| Tissue Specificity | N/A |
| Post translational modification | The soluble form (GHBP) is produced by phorbol ester-promoted proteolytic cleavage at the cell surface (shedding) by ADAM17/TACE. Shedding is inhibited by growth hormone (GH) binding to the receptor probably due to a conformational change in GHR rendering the receptor inaccessible to ADAM17. On GH binding, phosphorylated on tyrosine residues in the cytoplasmic domain by JAK2 (By similarity). On ligand binding, ubiquitinated on lysine residues in the cytoplasmic domain. This ubiquitination is not sufficient for GHR internalization. |
| Function | Receptor for pituitary gland growth hormone involved in regulating postnatal body growth. On ligand binding, couples to, and activates the JAK2/STAT5 pathway (By similarity). The soluble form (GHBP) acts as a reservoir of growth hormone in plasma and may be a modulator/inhibitor of GH signaling. |
