GHRHR, Official Symbol GHRHRprovided by HGNC Official Full Name growth hormone releasing hormone receptorprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:4266 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000106128 MIM:139191; AllianceGenome:HGNC:4266 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as GRFR; GHRFR; IGHD4; IGHD1B 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.
