Summary: Enables growth hormone-releasing hormone receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including activation of adenylate cyclase activity; cAMP/PKA signal transduction; and positive regulation of circadian sleep/wake cycle, non-REM sleep. Located in cell surface and sarcolemma. Used to study isolated growth hormone deficiency. Biomarker of sleep disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in isolated growth hormone deficiency and isolated growth hormone deficiency type IB. Orthologous to human GHRHR (growth hormone releasing hormone receptor).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
