GH receptor (GHR) is a cytokine receptor family member that responds to GH by activation of the receptor-associated tyrosine kinase, JAK2 (Janus family of tyrosine kinase 2). We previously showed that JAK2, in addition to being a signal transducer, dramatically increases the half-life of mature GHR, partly by preventing constitutive GHR down-regulation. Herein we explored GHR and JAK2 determinants for both...
