Association study between growth hormone receptor (GHR ) gene polymorphisms and obesity in Korean population
A main target of growth hormone (GH) is adipose tissue in human body. The GH secretion in obesity patients is impaired. It is needless to say that growth hormone receptor (GHR) is necessary in GH hormone signaling. The purpose of the present study is to examine the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the development of obesity. A total of 211 overweight/obese subjects...
متن کاملDisulfide linkage of growth hormone (GH) receptors (GHR) reflects GH-induced GHR dimerization. Association of JAK2 with the GHR is enhanced by receptor dimerization.
The growth hormone (GH) receptor (GHR) binds GH in its extracellular domain and transduces activating signals via its cytoplasmic domain. Both GH-induced GHR dimerization and JAK2 tyrosine kinase activation are critical in initiation of GH signaling. We previously described a rapid GH-induced disulfide linkage of GHRs in human IM-9 cells. In this study, three GH-induced phenomena (GHR dimerizat...
متن کاملAbsence of NsiI Polymorphism in Growth Hormone Receptor (GHR) Gene in Indian Cattle Breeds
The objective of the present study was to investigate the polymorphism in 5′ non-coding region of growth hormone receptor (GHR) gene in Sahiwal (n = 53) and Hariana (n = 50) cattle using NsiI/PCR-RFLP assay. Amplification of DNA sample revealed 302bp product using specific primer pairs and digested by using NsiI restriction enzyme. All the screened animals were found monomorphic in nature for G...
متن کاملSingle nucleotide polymorphisms in exon 10 of the chinchilla growth hormone receptor (GHR) gene.
The aim of this study was to detect SNPs in exon 10 of the chinchilla growth hormone receptor gene (GHR) by comparative sequencing. Sixty females of the same breed (Standard) were analysed. Four new SNPs were identified, which cause 3 amino acid substitutions in the intracellular domain of the receptor: G/C at position 135 bp (in relation to the total sequence of exon 10) (gln/his), CAG/AAA at ...
متن کاملGenetic variations at the human growth hormone receptor (GHR) gene locus are associated with idiopathic short stature
GH plays an essential role in the growing child by binding to the growth hormone receptor (GHR) on target cells and regulating multiple growth promoting and metabolic effects. Mutations in the GHR gene coding regions result in GH insensitivity (dwarfism) due to a dysfunctional receptor protein. However, children with idiopathic short stature (ISS) show growth impairment without GH or GHR defect...
