The growth-hormone-releasing hormone receptor (GHRHR) is a

adenylate cyclase.[5] GHRHR is distinct from the growth hormone secretagogue receptor
(also known as the ghrelin receptor), where growth hormone releasing peptides act to release growth hormone.

Function

This gene, expressed in the pituitary, encodes a receptor for growth-hormone-releasing hormone. Binding of this hormone to the receptor leads to synthesis and release of

splice variants encoding different isoforms have been described, but only two have been characterized to date.[6]
