Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 2690
Gene name Growth hormone receptor
Gene symbol GHR
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
GHBPGHIP
Chromosome 5
Chromosome location 5p13.1-p12
Summary This gene encodes a member of the type I cytokine receptor family, which 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 tran
