Also known as GHBP
Summary
GHR (growth hormone receptor, HGNC:4263) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 5p13.1-p12, encoding Growth hormone receptor (P10912). Receptor for pituitary gland growth hormone (GH1) involved in regulating postnatal body growth.
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.

Function. Receptor for pituitary gland growth hormone (GH1) involved in regulating postnatal body growth. On ligand binding, couples to the JAK2/STAT5 pathway. The soluble form (GHBP) acts as a reservoir of growth hormone in plasma and may be a modulator/inhibitor of GH signaling. Up-regulates the production of the soluble Growth hormone-binding protein form (GHBP) and acts as a negative inhibitor of growth hormone signaling.
Subunit / interactions. On growth hormone (GH) binding, forms homodimers and binds JAK2 via a box 1-containing domain.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane Cell membrane Secreted.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in various tissues with high expression in liver and skeletal muscle. Isoform 2 is expressed in lung, stomach and muscle. Predominantly expressed in kidney, bladder, adrenal gland and brain stem. Highly expressed in placental villi.
Post-translational modifications. 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. Ubiquitinated by the ECS(SOCS2) complex following ligand-binding and phosphorylation by JAK2, leading to its degradation by the proteasome. Regulation by the ECS(SOCS2) complex acts as a negative feedback loop of growth hormone receptor signaling. Ubiquitination is not sufficient for GHR internalization.
Disease relevance. 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. The disease is caused by variants 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. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. The WSXWS motif appears to be necessary for proper protein folding and thereby efficient intracellular transport and cell-surface receptor binding. The box 1 motif is required for JAK interaction and/or activation. The extracellular domain is the ligand-binding domain representing the growth hormone-binding protein (GHBP). The ubiquitination-dependent endocytosis motif (UbE) is required for recruitment of the ubiquitin conjugation system on to the receptor and for its internalization.
Polymorphism. Genetic variation in GHR may act as phenotype modifier in familial hypercholesterolemia [MIM:143890] patients carrying a mutation in the LDLR gene.
Miscellaneous. Arises by species-specific retrovirus-mediated alternative splice mimicry.
Similarity. Belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. Type 1 subfamily.
