The following growth hormone receptor ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of growth hormone receptor in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the GHR gene. This protein is a known receptor for pituitary gland growth hormone involved in regulating postnatal body growth. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 638 residues, a mass of 71.5 kDa, and is a member of the Type I cytokine receptor protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the cell membrane. In addition, it is reported to be expressed in various tissues with high expression in liver and skeletal muscle. As many as 4 protein isoforms have been reported. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally glycosylated, ubiquitinated, cleaved and phosphorylated. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Laron syndrome. This protein may also be known as GHIP, GH receptor, growth hormone binding protein, mutant growth hormone receptor, serum binding protein, and GHBP.
Some growth hormone receptor ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 12 pg/mL and as high as 100 ng/mL. Use the search filters to narrow your search and click on the ELISA kits below for more detailed information, such as reactivity and assay sensitivity.
