Genomic Structure and Transcriptional Regulation of the Human Growth Hormone Secretagogue Receptor¹

Abstract excerpt

Synthetic GH secretagogues stimulate GH release through binding to a recently cloned specific GH secretagogue receptor (GHS-R). The endogenous ligand of this receptor may be part of a new endocrine pathway controlling GH secretion. Two different receptor variants, type 1a and 1b, have been described that differ in their 3'-terminal amino acids. We investigated the genomic structure and transcriptional regulation...
