A putative growth hormone receptor from detergent-solubilized rabbit liver membranes and the growth hormone binding protein from rabbit serum have been purified 59,000- and 400,000-fold, respectively, primarily by affinity chromatography. Both purified proteins exhibit high affinity binding for human growth hormone; K alpha = 9-30 x 10(9) M-1 for the liver receptor and K alpha = 6 x 10(9) M-1 for the binding protein. The apparent molecular weight of the liver receptor is 130,000 by reduced sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis, while that of the binding protein is 51,000. Both contain N-linked carbohydrate. The amino-terminal sequences of the liver growth hormone receptor and the serum binding protein were found to be the same, indicating that the binding protein corresponds to the extracellular domain of the liver receptor. Ubiquitin was found covalently linked to the liver receptor but not to the serum binding protein. The amino acid sequences of several peptides from the liver receptor were also determined after tryptic and V8 protease digestion.

D011986 Receptors, Somatotropin Cell surface proteins that bind GROWTH HORMONE with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes influencing the behavior of cells. Activation of growth hormone receptors regulates amino acid transport through cell membranes, RNA translation to protein, DNA transcription, and protein and amino acid catabolism in many cell types. Many of these effects are mediated indirectly through stimulation of the release of somatomedins.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
