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.
Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. On growth hormone binding, GHR is ubiquitinated, internalized, down-regulated and transported into a degradative or non-degradative pathway.; [Isoform 2]: Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Remains fixed to the cell membrane and is not internalized.; [Growth hormone-binding protein]: Secreted. Complexed to a substantial fraction of circulating GH.
