What Does GHR Stand For?

GHR stands for Growth Hormone Receptor

GHR, or Growth Hormone Receptor, is a protein located on the surface of cells that binds to growth hormone (GH). This interaction triggers a series of intracellular signaling pathways that promote growth, cell division, and metabolism. GHR plays a critical role in regulating physiological processes, including tissue growth, development, and maintenance, making it essential for normal growth and overall health. Dysregulation of GHR signaling can lead to various health issues, including growth disorders and metabolic syndromes.
