Growth hormone receptor (GHR) is a gene located on chromosome 5p13.1, encoding a transmembrane receptor that plays a critical role in mediating the effects of growth hormone, which is crucial for growth, metabolism, and tissue development. GHR is expressed in various tissues, including the liver, muscle, and adipose tissue, and facilitates the growth hormone signaling pathway by binding to growth hormone, leading to receptor dimerization and activation of intracellular signaling cascades such as the JAK2-STAT5 pathway. This signaling promotes growth and anabolic processes, influencing body composition, insulin sensitivity, and lipid metabolism. Mutations or alterations in the GHR gene can lead to growth disorders like Laron syndrome, characterized by insensitivity to growth hormone. Understanding GHR's structure and function is pivotal for developing therapeutic strategies for growth deficiencies and metabolic syndromes, as modifying GHR signaling pathways can offer potential interventions in related conditions.
