Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Receptor for ghrelin, coupled to G-alpha-11 proteins. Stimulates growth hormone secretion. Binds also other growth hormone releasing peptides (GHRP) (e.g. Met-enkephalin and GHRP-6) as well as non-peptide, low molecular weight secretagogues (e.g. L-692,429, MK-0677, adenosine). {ECO:0000269PubMed:10604470, ECO:0000269PubMed:11322507}.

Subcellular Localization

Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Disease Associations

Short stature, idiopathic, autosomal (ISSA) [MIM:604271]: A condition defined by a standing height more than 2 standard deviations below the mean (or below the 2.5 percentile) for sex and chronological age, compared with a well-nourished, genetically relevant population, in the absence of specific causative disorders. {ECO:0000269PubMed:16511605}. Note=The disease may be caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Tissue Specificity

Pituitary and hypothalamus.
