Abstract excerpt
GH binding protein (GHBP) is a circulating form of the GH receptor (GHR) extracellular domain, which derives by alternative splicing of the GHR gene (in mice and rats) and by metalloprotease-mediated GHR proteolysis with shedding of the extracellular domain as GHBP (in rabbits, humans, and other species). Inducible proteolysis of either mouse (m) or rabbit (rb) GHR is detected in cell culture in response to...
