Function
Up-regulates the production of the soluble Growth hormone-binding protein form (GHBP) and acts as a negative inhibitor of growth hormone signaling.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Secreted
Tissue Specificity: Predominantly expressed in kidney, bladder, adrenal gland and brain stem. Highly expressed in placental villi
Disease Association: Laron syndrome (LARS) : A severe form of growth hormone insensitivity characterized by growth impairment, short stature, dysfunctional growth hormone receptor, and failure to generate insulin-like growth factor I in response to growth hormone. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry] | Growth hormone insensitivity, partial (GHIP) : A disease characterized by partial resistance to growth hormone resulting in short stature. Short stature is 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, healthy, genetically relevant population. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]
