  • Application notes
    Is unsuitable for IHC-P.

    • Target

    • Function

      Receptor for pituitary gland growth hormone involved in regulating postnatal body growth. On ligand binding, couples to the JAK2/STAT5 pathway.
      The soluble form (GHBP) acts as a reservoir of growth hormone in plasma and may be a modulator/inhibitor of GH signaling.
      Isoform 2 up-regulates the production of GHBP and acts as a negative inhibitor of GH signaling.

    • Tissue specificity

      Expressed in various tissues with high expression in liver and skeletal muscle. Isoform 4 is predominantly expressed in kidney, bladder, adrenal gland and brain stem. Isoform 1 expression in placenta is predominant in chorion and decidua. Isoform 4 is highly expressed in placental villi. Isoform 2 is expressed in lung, stomach and muscle. Low levels in liver.

    • Involvement in disease

      Defects in GHR are a cause of Laron syndrome (LARS) [MIM:262500]. 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.
      Defects in GHR may be a cause of idiopathic short stature autosomal (ISSA) [MIM:604271]. Short stature is defined by a subnormal rate of growth.

    • Sequence similarities

      Belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. Type 1 subfamily.
      Contains 1 fibronectin type-III domain.

    • Domain

      The WSXWS motif appears to be necessary for proper protein folding and thereby efficient intracellular transport and cell-surface receptor binding.
      The box 1 motif is required for JAK interaction and/or activation.
      The extracellular domain is the ligand-binding domain representing the growth hormone-binding protein (GHBP).
      The ubiquitination-dependent endocytosis motif (UbE) is required for recruitment of the ubiquitin conjugation system on to the receptor and for its internalization.

    • Post-translational
      modifications

      The soluble form (GHBP) is produced by phorbol ester-promoted proteolytic cleavage at the cell surface (shedding) by ADAM17/TACE. Shedding is inhibited by growth hormone (GH) binding to the receptor probably due to a conformational change in GHR rendering the receptor inaccessible to ADAM17.
      On GH binding, phosphorylated on tyrosine residues in the cytoplasmic domain by JAK2.
      On ligand binding, ubiquitinated on lysine residues in the cytoplasmic domain. This ubiquitination is not sufficient for GHR internalization.

    • Cellular localization

      Secreted; Cell membrane. On growth hormone binding, GHR is ubiquitinated, internalized, down-regulated and transported into a degradative or non-degradative pathway and Cell membrane. Remains fixed to the cell membrane and is not internalized.

    Question

    I would like to know the difference between this product (ab134078) and a different polyclonal GHR antibody (ab65304). Specifically, why the band observed using ab65304 for western blot is 76kDa (much closer to the predicted size of 71 kDa), while this monoclonal antibody detects a band around 150kDa. Are both of these antibodies validated to detect only GHR? Please let me know any information you may have about this.

    Answer

    Growth hormone receptor is about 72 kDa before any post-translation modifications. (See the section titled Sequences, halfway down the page of the UniProt record for human GHR at this link: http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P10912 ).

    But subsequent glycosylation causes the protein to migrate in SDS-PAGE gels at higher molecular weights, according to several papers. For instance, the paper at this link, http://joe.endocrinology-journals.org/content/198/1/71.full.pdf , has this note on page78.

    Based on its amino acid sequence, the nascent hGHR is
    predicted to be ˜70 kDa in size while, when resolved on
    SDS-PAGE gels under reducing conditions, the mature
    hGHR migrates at 100–140 kDa (Hocquette et al. 1989,
    1990, Alele et al. 1998, Zhang et al. 2001, Cowan et al. 2005).
    These differences are due primarily to the presence of five
    asparagine-linked glycosylation sites within the extracellular
    domain, a variable number of which are glycosylated in the
    mature hGHR (Harding et al. 1994).

    J Endocrinol. 2008 Jul;198(1):71-82. PMID: 18420710

    Neither of the two antibodies, ab65304 and ab134078, have been tested for reactivity with purified receptor, or with knockout/knockdown samples to demonstrate specificity for GHR. At least one customer reported detection of two bands at 110 kDa and 71 kDa in a blot of human glioblasoma lysate stained with ab65304. The review is at this link, https://www.abcam.com/Growth-hormone-receptor-antibody-ab65304/reviews/35503 .

    There is a possibility both antibodies detect the receptor but they were unfortunately not tested against the same samples, and we do not know if the different results are a consequence of different amounts of glycosylation among those samples or, more likely, different affinities of the antibodies for glycosylated receptor. I would choose ab134078 over ab65304, given that the western result agrees with the observations mentioned in the references above. Our guarantee, described at https://www.abcam.com/content/abpromise-guarantee, applies to all the species and applications listed on the datasheet.

    Question

    What is least range of  homology if one antibody have cross activity with other organisms ? Is 73% not enough?Best Wishes!

    Read More
    Answer

    While an antibody created from an immunogen with 73% homology with a target of interest may have reactivity, Abcam does not recommend use of a product which has less than 85% homology.

    Question

    Inquiry: Bonjour, Nous avons bien reçu l'anticorps. Cependant je remarque qu'en western blot, il est indiqué sur votre fiche technique que la bande sort à 140kDa. J'obtenais toutefois une bande de façon consistante à 70kDa avec l'autre anticorps que nous utilisions. Pourquoi est-ce qu'il aurait une telle différence entre les deux anticorps s'ils sont supposés reconnaître la même protéine?

    Read More
    Answer

    Merci de nous avoir contactés.

    Le laboratoire Epitomics, source du monoclonal de lapin ab134078, confirme la spécificité de cet anticorps en s'appuyant sur les publications suivantes où la forme glycosylée de la GHR est décrite pour migrer à 120 ou 140 kDa :

    http://joe.endocrinology-journals.org/content/198/1/71.full.pdf
    http://joe.endocrinology-journals.org/cgi/content-nw/full/195/1/49/F3
    http://joe.endocrinology-journals.org/content/181/2/281.full.pdf
    http://datasheets.scbt.com/sc-69880.pdf
    http://mend.endojournals.org/content/17/11/2211.full

    Ceci est en effet en contradiction avec les blots obtenus avec les autres anti-GHR de notre catalogue. Je vais donc demander à mes collègues en charge de ces anticorps de bien vouloir vérifier et si possible expliquer ces différences.

    Je vous contacterai de nouveau quand j'aurai reçu une réponse de mes collaborateurs.
    Merci pour votre patience.
