Description
GHRH, also known as Somatoliberin or Growth hormone-releasing hormone, has a 108 amino acid isoform and a 107 amino acid isoform that are 12 kDa, is produced by the hypothalamus and its main function is to stimulate growth hormone release. Disease research is being performed on this proteins involvement in gigantism, isolated growth hormone deficiency due to defect in ghrf, dwarfism, gigantism due to ghrf hypersecretion, zollinger-ellison syndrome, anorexia, nervosa, multiple endocrine neoplasia, polycystic ovary syndrome, short stature, Cushing's syndrome, hypopituitarism, diabetes insipidus, panic disorder, hypothyroidism, somatostatinoma, acromegaly, vipoma, pituitary adenoma, Prader-Willi syndrome, hyperprolactinemia, cancer, lipodystrophy, hypogonadism, diabetes mellitus, and Pseudohypoparathyroidism. This protein has been involved in 55 different pathways such as nuclear receptor activation by vitamin-A, Paxillin Interactions, telomerase components in cell signaling, mitochondrial apoptosis, molecular mechanisms of cancer, antioxidant action of vitamin-C, eIF2 pathway, intracellular calcium signaling, JNK pathway, apoptotic pathways in synovial fibroblasts, ERK5 signaling, Tec kinases signaling, GSK3 signaling, and cellular apoptosis pathway where it interacts with GHRHR, DPP4, FAP, ADCYAP1R1, POMC, NPS, MC4R, ADRB1, and 50 other proteins.
