Growth hormone receptor, also known as GHR, 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.
