Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 2691
Gene name Growth hormone releasing hormone
Gene symbol GHRH
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
GHRFGRFINN
Chromosome 20
Chromosome location 20q11.23
Summary This gene encodes a member of the glucagon family of proteins. The encoded preproprotein is produced in the hypothalamus and cleaved to generate the mature factor, known as somatoliberin, which acts to stimulate growth hormone release from the pituitary g
