Target Information
Function
Receptor for pituitary gland growth hormone involved in regulating postnatal body growth. On ligand binding, couples to the JAK2/STAT5 pathway.The soluble form (GHBP) acts as a reservoir of growth hormone in plasma and may be a modulator/inhibitor of GH signaling.Isoform 2 up-regulates the production of GHBP and acts as a negative inhibitor of GH signaling.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. Type 1 subfamily. Contains 1 fibronectin type-III domain.

Tissue Specificity
Expressed in various tissues with high expression in liver and skeletal muscle. Isoform 4 is predominantly expressed in kidney, bladder, adrenal gland and brain stem. Isoform 1 expression in placenta is predominant in chorion and decidua. Isoform 4 is highly expressed in placental villi. Isoform 2 is expressed in lung, stomach and muscle. Low levels in liver.
