By immunoblotting, this antibody shows ~50% cross-reactivity with recombinant rat GHR and 20% cross-reactivty with recombinant human GHR.
Growth Hormone Receptor encodes a protein that is a transmembrane receptor for growth hormone. Binding of growth hormone to the receptor leads to receptor dimerization and the activation of intra- and intercellular signal transduction pathways.
Anti-Growth Hormone Receptor antibody produced in goat was used to study the protein and protein phosphorylation levels in rat primary hippocampal cultures using Li-cor Odyssey fluorescence technology.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Growth hormone (GH) is secreted by the anterior pituitary and functions by binding specific growth hormone receptor (GHR). GH stimulates the secretion of insulin-like growth factor-1 that mediates some of its growth promoting actions. The activity of GH/GHR is important for normal physiology and aging processes.
Physical form
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in phosphate buffered saline with 5% trehalose.

Growth hormone (GH) is a protein secreted by the anterior pituitary and circulates throughout the body to exert important actions on growth and metabolism. GH stimulates the secretion of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) that mediates some of the growth promoting

Bone minerals are acquired during growth and are key determinants of adult skeletal health. During puberty, the serum levels of growth hormone (GH) and its downstream effector IGF-1 increase and play critical roles in bone acquisition. The goal of the
The accumulation of stochastic DNA damage throughout an organism's lifespan is thought to contribute to ageing. Conversely, ageing seems to be phenotypically reproducible and regulated through genetic pathways such as the insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and growth hormone (GH) receptors
Studies in mutant, gene knock-out and transgenic mice have demonstrated that growth hormone (GH) signalling has a major impact on ageing and longevity. Growth hormone-resistant and GH-deficient animals live much longer than their normal siblings, while transgenic mice overexpressing GH
GH deficiency is thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). However, therapy with GH and/or IGF-I has not shown benefit. To gain a better understanding of the role of GH secretion in ALS pathogenesis, we
