The Growth Hormone Receptor: Mechanism of Receptor Activation, Cell Signaling, and Physiological Aspects

The growth hormone receptor, although most well-known for regulating growth, has many other important biological functions including regulating metabolism and controlling physiological processes related to the hepato-biliary, cardiovascular, renal, gastrointestinal, and reproductive systems. In addition, growth hormone signalling is an important regulator of ageing and plays a significant role in cancer development. Growth hormone activates the...
