Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 2692
Gene name Growth hormone releasing hormone receptor
Gene symbol GHRHR
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
GHRFRGRFRIGHD1BIGHD4
Chromosome 7
Chromosome location 7p14.3
Summary This gene encodes a receptor for growth hormone-releasing hormone. Binding of this hormone to the receptor leads to synthesis and release of growth hormone. Mutations in this gene have been associated with isolated growth hormone deficiency (IGHD), also k
