Assay Platform:Reagents
Product details:
The Antibody Pair can be used to quantify Human Growth Hormone Receptor. BSA and Azide free antibody pairs include unconjugated capture and detector antibodies suitable for sandwich ELISAs. The antibodies are provided at an approximate concentration of 1 mg/ml as measured by the protein A280 method. The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Both capture and detector antibodies are rabbit monoclonal antibodies delivering consistent, specific, and sensitive results.
For additional information on the performance of the antibody pair, see the equivalent SimpleStep ELISA® Kit (ab260060), which uses the same antibodies. However, due to differences in their formulation, this antibody pair cannot be used with the consumables provided with our SimpleStep ELISA Kits. Please note that the range provided for the pairs is only an estimation based on the performance of the related product using the same antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody pair in your assay.

The Growth Hormone Receptor (GHR) also known as somatotropin receptor is a vital protein that mediates the effects of growth hormone (GH). GHR is a transmembrane receptor with a mass of approximately 70 kDa and is expressed in many tissues including liver muscle and adipose tissue. It plays an important role in growth regulation by binding to growth hormone which triggers signal transduction pathways involved in cellular proliferation and growth.
Biological function summary
The growth hormone receptor facilitates the hormone's ability to promote growth and cell differentiation. The receptor when activated stimulates the JAK2/STAT5 signaling pathway a part of a larger GHR complex. This complex leads to gene transcription that stimulates growth and metabolism. The activation of GHR has significant effects on the cellular functions related to protein synthesis lipid metabolism and glucose metabolism.
Pathways
The growth hormone receptor is an important component of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway and the mTOR signaling pathway. In these pathways GHR interacts with other proteins such as Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5). These interactions play a critical role in translating the binding of growth hormone into cellular responses that lead to growth and metabolic regulation.
Disruptions or mutations in the growth hormone receptor can lead to conditions such as Laron syndrome and growth hormone insensitivity. These conditions often display symptoms of dwarfism and metabolic aberrations due to impaired signaling. GHR malfunction relates closely to growth hormone (GH) and anti-growth hormone treatments like somatropin used for managing growth deficiencies. The connection of GHR with related pathways and proteins like the IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1) underlines its role in metabolic diseases.
