Growth Hormone Receptor

The growth hormone receptor is a protein found on the surface of certain cells in your body. It acts like a sensor that detects growth hormone circulating in your blood. When growth hormone binds to this receptor, it triggers a series of reactions inside the cell that promote growth, cell repair, and metabolism. Essentially, the receptor allows your body to respond properly to growth hormone, which is important for development, maintaining healthy tissues, and overall growth. Proper functioning of this receptor is vital for normal growth and metabolic balance.
