GHS-R1 (growth hormone secretagogue receptor type 1) is a G protein-coupled receptor. GHS-R1 binds synthetic peptidyl and nonpeptidyl growth hormone secretagogues (GHS), which stimulate growth hormone (GH) release. The binding of GHS to GHS-R1 is magnesium-dependent, inhibited by GTP-g-S and not displaced by the two hypothalamic hormones, growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) and somatostatin. This suggests that the interaction between GHS and GHS-R1 is distinct from GH regulation via GHRH and somatostatin and there exists a natural growth hormone regulator specific for GHS-R. GHS-R1 is primarily expressed in the hypothalamus and pituitary, and expression has been shown to be elevated in pituitary adenoma tissue.
