INTRODUCTION
GHBP is a transmembrane receptor for GH. Binding of GH 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 GH insensitivity syndrome (GHIS), a disorder characterized by short stature. Other splice variants, including one encoding a soluble form of the protein (GHRtr), have been observed but have not been thoroughly characterized.
DESCRIPTION
GHBP Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 248 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 28107.01 Dalton.
GHR is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
