GHRH Receptor

The Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone (GHRH) receptor is a specialized protein located on the surface of certain cells in the brain's pituitary gland. It acts as a lock that specifically fits the GHRH hormone key. When GHRH binds to this receptor, it triggers the release of growth hormone into the bloodstream. Growth hormone is essential for growth, cell repair, and metabolism. The GHRH receptor thus plays a crucial role in controlling how much growth hormone your body produces, helping regulate growth and overall health.
