| Function | Receptor for pituitary gland growth hormone involved in regulating postnatal body growth. On ligand binding, couples to, and activates the JAK2/STAT5 pathway. |
| Subcellular Location | Growth hormone-binding protein: Secreted {ECO:0000250}. Note=Complexed to a substantial fraction of circulating GH. {ECO:0000250}. |
| Tissue Specificity | Highest expression in liver. Also expressed in heart, kidney and muscle. |
| Top Pathways | Cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, Jak-STAT signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, Neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction |
