The expression of the pituitary growth hormone-releasing hormone receptor and its splice variants in normal and neoplastic human tissues
18 Nov 2005
Abstract excerpt
Various attempts to detect human pituitary growth hormone-releasing hormone receptor (pGHRH-R) in neoplastic extrapituitary tissues have thus far failed. Recently, four splice variants (SVs) of GHRH-R have been described, of which SV1 has the highest structural homology to pGHRH-R and likely plays a role in tumor growth. The aim of this study was to reinvestigate whether human tumors and normal human...
