GHRHR growth hormone releasing hormone receptor [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 2692)

Symbol: GHRHR

Full name: growth hormone releasing hormone receptor

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: GHRFR; GRFR; IGHD1B; IGHD4

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 known as Dwarfism of Sindh, a disorder characterized by short stature. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]
