Product name:Human GHBP ELISA Kit
Product Categories:
Growth hormone binding protein (GHBP) is a carrier protein for growth hormone (GH). It is coded by the same gene as growth hormone receptor. GHBP corresponds to the extracellular domain of the GH receptor and is closely related to measures of body composition and, specifically, to size of visceral fat tissue. GHBP is derived from membrane bound GH receptors by proteolytic cleavage and is identical to the extra-cellular binding domain of the receptor. It is regarded as an intrinsic part of the growth hormone – insulin-like growth factor-I (GH – IGF-I) axis as it is thought to reflect tissue-bound GH receptor status.
