Growth hormone receptor is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GHR gene [1]. GHR orthologs [2] have been identified in most mammals.

This gene encodes a protein that 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. A common alternate allele of this gene, called GHRd3, lacks exon three and has been well-characterized. 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 (proportional dwarfism). Other splice variants, including one encoding a soluble form of the protein (GHRtr), have been observed but have not been thoroughly characterized [1]. Laron mice (that is mice genetically engeneered to not carry defective Ghr), have a dramatic reduction in body mass (only reaching 50% of the weight of normal siblings), and also show a ~40% increase in lifespan.

Interactions

Growth hormone receptor has been shown to interact with SGTA,[3] PTPN11,[4][5] Janus kinase 2,[6][7][8] Suppressor of cytokine signaling 1[9] and CISH.[9]

Evolution

The GHR gene is used in animals as a nuclear DNA phylogenetic marker [2]. The exon 10 has first been experienced to explore the phylogeny of the major groups of Rodentia [10][11][12]. GHR has also proven useful at lower taxonomic levels, e.g., in octodontoid [13], arvicoline [14], muroid [15][16], murine [17], and peromyscine [18] rodents, in arctoid [19] and felid [20] carnivores, and in dermopterans [21]. Note that the GHR intron 9 has also been used to investigate the mustelid [22] and hyaenid [23] carnivores phylogenetics.
