Ghr encodes the mouse growth hormone receptor, a single-pass type I cytokine receptor whose full-length membrane isoform binds growth hormone at the plasma membrane and activates JAK2/STAT5-centered signaling. The locus also produces a shorter growth-hormone-binding protein isoform (GHBP), which carries the receptor's extracellular domain with a substituted transmembrane segment and circulates as a serum growth-hormone-binding protein; the extracellular and hormone-buffering activities of the locus are attributable to GHBP rather than to signaling by the membrane receptor. In mouse the splicing route is the directly evidenced one; UniProt also records ADAM17/TACE shedding of the full-length receptor's ectodomain as a second source of GHBP, by similarity. Direct mouse evidence supports receptor activity, plasma-membrane localization and growth-hormone-triggered JAK-STAT signaling.
Curated functional classes representing distinct biological activities. These may be splice variants, cleavage products, or other forms with different functions.
GHR_MEMBRANE_RECEPTORGHR_GHBP| GO Term | Evidence | Action | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| GO:0009897 external side of plasma membrane | IBA GO_REF:0000033 | ACCEPT | Summary: Conserved receptor topology places the ligand-binding ectodomain on the external side of the plasma membrane. Reason: This is consistent with the biology of the full-length membrane receptor and with accepted plasma-membrane localization. |
| GO:0019221 cytokine-mediated signaling pathway | IBA GO_REF:0000033 | MODIFY | Summary: Broad family-level IBA term transferred from cytokine-receptor ancestry. Ghr has a specific growth-hormone pathway term available. Reason: This is overly broad and likely reflects cytokine-receptor family transfer rather than a precise statement about Ghr. Propagation Review Root cause: TERM SCOPING PROBLEM Failure modes: WRONG ORTHOLOG OR PARALOG Sources checked: PANTHER:PTN002745476 SUPPORTS TRANSFER PTHR23037 node, shared with the GO:0019955 row. The mechanism the node encodes - ligand engagement by a class-I (haematopoietin) receptor ectodomain coupled to JAK/STAT - is genuinely ancestral and does apply to Ghr, so the transfer itself is sound and the fault is in the term chosen. Checked in the ontology (QuickGO is_a/part_of ancestors): GO:0019221 is NOT among GO:0060396's ancestors, so the proposed replacement is a lateral re-scoping to the ligand-specific pathway rather than a parent-to-child refinement - which is why no GRANULARITY_MISMATCH is asserted here. That ancestry is only partly re-derivable here: the tracked label caches (cache/go/terms.csv, cache/ontologies/go.tsv) carry labels and obsolescence alone, and cache/enums/ carries branch membership rather than is_a/part_of ancestry - GO:0019221 and GO:0060396 both sit in gobiologicalprocessenum, which cannot decide whether either descends from the other. So on this row the QuickGO call really is the whole of the evidence, but for the narrower reason that branch membership is insufficient, not that the repository holds no ontology structure at all. The remaining WITH/FROM entries (MGI, RGD and further UniProtKB accessions, several of which could not be resolved to a protein name here) are by construction further descendants of this same node. UniProtKB:P08887 · IL6R SUPPORTS SOURCE BUT NOT TARGET Human interleukin-6 receptor subunit alpha. GO:0019221 is exact for this donor, whose ligand is a bona fide cytokine. Ghr's ligand is the pituitary peptide hormone GH, so the cytokine framing of the pathway term does not carry over even though the JAK/STAT receptor mechanism does. UniProtKB:P31785 · IL2RG SUPPORTS SOURCE BUT NOT TARGET Human cytokine receptor common subunit gamma, a shared signalling subunit of several interleukin receptors. Same ligand-class argument as IL6R: the generic cytokine pathway term is precise for the donor and imprecise for a hormone receptor. UniProtKB:P42701 · IL12RB1 SUPPORTS SOURCE BUT NOT TARGET Human interleukin-12 receptor subunit beta-1. A paralogous class-I cytokine receptor within the same superfamily node; its cytokine-pathway annotation is correct for itself but is the source of the over-broad framing on Ghr. Proposed replacements: growth hormone receptor signaling pathway |
| GO:0046427 positive regulation of receptor signaling pathway via JAK-STAT | IBA GO_REF:0000033 | ACCEPT | Summary: Conserved statement that activated GHR promotes receptor-proximal JAK-STAT signaling. Reason: This is consistent with the direct mouse JAK-STAT literature and donor traces with real receptor-signaling evidence. |
| GO:0004903 growth hormone receptor activity | IBA GO_REF:0000033 | ACCEPT | Summary: Core receptor molecular function. Reason: Growth hormone receptor activity is directly established in mouse and is the central molecular function of Ghr. |
| GO:0060396 growth hormone receptor signaling pathway | IBA GO_REF:0000033 | ACCEPT | Summary: Specific pathway term for the receptor's core biological role. Reason: This specific pathway is strongly supported by direct mouse signaling evidence and is preferable to broader endocrine/cytokine terms. |
| GO:0008284 positive regulation of cell population proliferation | IBA GO_REF:0000033 | MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED | Summary: Downstream proliferative outcome seen in some contexts, not the core evolved function of Ghr. Reason: This term captures context-dependent downstream physiology rather than receptor-specific molecular function or pathway identity. Propagation Review Root cause: TERM SCOPING PROBLEM Failure modes: GRANULARITY MISMATCH Sources checked: PANTHER:PTN008588089 SUPPORTS TRANSFER A different PTHR23037 node from the one behind the GO:0019221 and GO:0019955 rows (PTN002745476); the local PAINT cache carries no tree structure, so their relative depth is not established here and none is claimed. Growth-promoting output is real for Ghr, so the transfer is not false; the objection is that GO:0008284 names a broad downstream physiological outcome shared by most mitogenic receptors and states nothing receptor-specific, which is why the row is marked over-annotated rather than removed. UniProtKB:P08887 · IL6R SUPPORTS TRANSFER Human interleukin-6 receptor subunit alpha; a haematopoietic cytokine receptor whose proliferative output is direct and cell-lineage specific. GH's growth-promoting action is largely mediated indirectly through IGF-1 and is tissue- and context-dependent, so the same term is far less informative on Ghr than on this donor. UniProtKB:P15509 · CSF2RA SUPPORTS TRANSFER Human GM-CSF receptor subunit alpha, a directly mitogenic haematopoietic cytokine receptor. Supports the node-level growth-promoting assertion; does not make GO:0008284 a receptor-specific statement about Ghr. UniProtKB:P42701 · IL12RB1 SUPPORTS TRANSFER Human interleukin-12 receptor subunit beta-1. Same reading: the broad proliferation term is defensible family biology but is downstream physiology rather than Ghr's evolved receptor function. |
| GO:0019955 cytokine binding | IBA GO_REF:0000033 | MODIFY | Summary: Broad family-level binding term. For Ghr the specific accepted binding activity is peptide hormone binding. Reason: The generic cytokine-binding label is less informative and likely driven by paralog/family transfer. Propagation Review Root cause: TERM SCOPING PROBLEM Failure modes: WRONG ORTHOLOG OR PARALOG Sources checked: PANTHER:PTN002745476 SUPPORTS TRANSFER The same PTHR23037 superfamily node as the GO:0019221 row. Ligand binding by the class-I receptor ectodomain is ancestral and transfers correctly; what does not transfer is the ligand class. Checked in the ontology (QuickGO ancestors, same answer under is_a alone and under is_a+part_of): GO:0019955 descends from GO:0005515 protein binding and GO:0017046 from GO:0042562 hormone binding, so they are co-descendants of GO:0005488 at different depths and neither is an ancestor of the other. Replacing one with the other is therefore a specificity correction, not a refinement - which is why no GRANULARITY_MISMATCH is asserted here. As on the GO:0019221 row, that ancestry rests entirely on the QuickGO call - here too because cache/enums/ gives branch membership and not ancestry, GO:0019955 and GO:0017046 both sitting in gomolecularactivityenum, rather than because no local file carries GO structure at all. Note the mirror-image case already catalogued in IBA_REVIEW.md pattern 12 Tier A, where IL23R inherits the hormone terms GO:0004925 and GO:0017046 from PRLR across this same over-broad superfamily - the identical node breadth, running in the opposite direction. UniProtKB:P08887 · IL6R SUPPORTS SOURCE BUT NOT TARGET Human interleukin-6 receptor subunit alpha. Cytokine binding is exact for this donor; Ghr binds the peptide hormone GH, already captured by the accepted GO:0017046 row on this gene. UniProtKB:P42701 · IL12RB1 SUPPORTS SOURCE BUT NOT TARGET Human interleukin-12 receptor subunit beta-1; a paralogous family member whose ligand really is a cytokine. UniProtKB:Q5VWK5 · IL23R SUPPORTS SOURCE BUT NOT TARGET Human interleukin-23 receptor; resolved from genes/human/IL23R, whose primary accession is this one - a cached gene record rather than the family entries.csv that names the two donors above. The same gene that IBA_REVIEW.md flags as a victim of this node's breadth in the opposite direction; here it is one of the donors whose genuine cytokine-binding annotation leaks the wrong ligand class onto a hormone receptor. Proposed replacements: peptide hormone binding |
| GO:0005829 cytosol | IBA GO_REF:0000033 | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: Orthologous GHR-to-GHR transfer at a GHR-clade node, retained as a secondary location. Cytosol is not mutually exclusive with Ghr's plasma-membrane residence: as a single-pass type I receptor its intracellular domain faces the cytosol, and the receptor is ubiquitinated and proteolytically processed there. Not a core localization for a cell-surface receptor whose signalling output is at the plasma membrane. Reason: Downgraded from REMOVE. Two checks under IBA_REVIEW.md pattern 13 both fail to support a localization REMOVE here. First, the WITH/FROM contains no paralog and no out-of-family donor at all - it is UniProtKB:O46600 (bovine GHR) and UniProtKB:P10912 (human GHR) at the GHR-clade node PANTHER:PTN002745520, with bovine GHR as the IBD seed - so the earlier "low-specificity transfer" rationale (quoted exactly here; the word "family" in an earlier revision of this sentence was mine, not the original reason's) is not what the data show. Second, GO:0005829 cytosol is part_of GO:0005737 cytoplasm and is not one of the compartments that excludes the plasma membrane the way nucleus excludes cytoplasm; it is the compartment the receptor's own intracellular domain occupies, so this is a genuinely occupied, imprecise location rather than a contradicted one - the documented Tier B anti-pattern, where REMOVE would be an over-reach. Ghr's core locations remain the external side of the plasma membrane, the plasma membrane, and the secreted GHBP form; cytosol is kept as non-core. Propagation Review Root cause: NO FAILURE NON CORE Sources checked: PANTHER:PTN002745520 SUPPORTS TRANSFER A GHR-clade node in PTHR23037, not the broad class-I cytokine receptor node used by the other Ghr IBA rows. The entire WITH/FROM is GHR itself - UniProtKB:O46600 (bovine GHR) and UniProtKB:P10912 (human GHR) - so there is no paralog, no out-of-family donor and no low-specificity family transfer to argue against; this is an orthologous GHR-to-GHR propagation. UniProtKB:O46600 · GHR SUPPORTS TRANSFER Bovine growth hormone receptor; the IBD seed for GO:0005829 at this node in the local PANTHER PAINT cache. A direct ortholog of the target, so the node placement is a judgement about the GHR clade rather than a similarity transfer from an unrelated protein. UniProtKB:P10912 · GHR SUPPORTS TRANSFER Human growth hormone receptor, the target's direct ortholog and the second WITH/FROM entry. |
| GO:0017046 peptide hormone binding | IBA GO_REF:0000033 | ACCEPT | Summary: Specific binding activity for growth hormone. Reason: This is the appropriate specific binding term for Ghr and is supported by direct receptor/hormone interaction evidence. |
| GO:0070195 growth hormone receptor complex | IBA GO_REF:0000033 | ACCEPT | Summary: Conserved receptor-complex term aligned with receptor dimer/complex biology. Reason: The receptor forms signaling-competent complexes and donor traces retain direct experimental support for this term. |
| GO:0004896 cytokine receptor activity | IEA GO_REF:0000002 | MODIFY | Summary: Generic receptor-family term derived from InterPro domain mapping. Reason: Ghr has a specific receptor-activity term that is preferable to the broad cytokine-receptor label. Proposed replacements: growth hormone receptor activity |
| GO:0004903 growth hormone receptor activity | IEA GO_REF:0000117 | ACCEPT | Summary: ARBA prediction agrees with the known core receptor activity. Reason: The term is correct and already supported by stronger mouse experimental evidence. |
| GO:0005576 extracellular region | IEA GO_REF:0000044 | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: Compatible with the GHBP product and extracellular receptor ectodomain, but not the most informative core location. Reason: The gene produces an extracellular GH-binding product, so the term is not false, but plasma membrane is the clearer core location for the signaling receptor. |
| GO:0005886 plasma membrane | IEA GO_REF:0000044 | ACCEPT | Summary: Expected localization for the full-length signaling receptor. Reason: Plasma-membrane localization is directly supported in mouse and is the core cellular location of the signaling receptor isoform. |
| GO:0006897 endocytosis | IEA GO_REF:0000043 | REMOVE | Summary: Keyword-derived process assignment that treats the receptor as though it were an agent of endocytosis. Reason: Internalization of GHR as cargo does not justify a broad gene-level endocytosis annotation. |
| GO:0016020 membrane | IEA GO_REF:0000002 | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: True but much less informative than plasma membrane. Reason: The term is correct but too broad to capture the biology better than the accepted plasma-membrane annotation. |
| GO:0060396 growth hormone receptor signaling pathway | IEA GO_REF:0000117 | ACCEPT | Summary: ARBA prediction matches the direct experimental literature. Reason: This term is correct and is already supported by stronger mouse and donor experimental evidence. |
| GO:0004903 growth hormone receptor activity | ISO GO_REF:0000119 | ACCEPT | Summary: Human-to-mouse ISO transfer from GHR/P10912. Current donor tracing shows real human experimental support, but the donor also carries circular inferred copies of the same term. Reason: The term itself is correct and directly supported in mouse; the ISO edge is redundant rather than wrong and should not be treated as the primary justification. |
| GO:0005615 extracellular space | ISO GO_REF:0000119 | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: Human-to-mouse ISO transfer from P10912. Donor support exists, but this fits GHBP/extracellular product biology better than the membrane receptor. Reason: The term is plausible because the locus produces GHBP, but it should not be mistaken for the core location of signaling-competent GHR. |
| GO:0005886 plasma membrane | ISO GO_REF:0000119 | ACCEPT | Summary: Human-to-mouse ISO transfer from P10912 with retained donor-side direct support. Reason: Plasma-membrane localization is correct for the full-length receptor and is independently supported in mouse. |
| GO:0008289 lipid binding | ISO GO_REF:0000119 | REMOVE | Summary: Human-to-mouse ISO transfer from P10912, but the donor-side support is a non-core assertion that is not corroborated in mouse Ghr biology. Reason: Lipid binding is not part of the established mouse Ghr functional profile and looks like an over-transfer. |
| GO:0009986 cell surface | ISO GO_REF:0000119 | ACCEPT | Summary: Human-to-mouse ISO transfer from P10912 with retained donor-side experimental support. Reason: Cell-surface localization is appropriate for the membrane receptor. |
| GO:0016020 membrane | ISO GO_REF:0000119 | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: Human-to-mouse ISO transfer from P10912; correct but less informative than plasma membrane. Reason: This broad location term adds little beyond the accepted plasma-membrane annotation. |
| GO:0017046 peptide hormone binding | ISO GO_REF:0000119 | ACCEPT | Summary: Human-to-mouse ISO transfer from P10912 with retained donor-side direct receptor/hormone interaction support. Reason: This is the correct specific binding term for Ghr and is consistent with direct mouse evidence. |
| GO:0019838 growth factor binding | ISO GO_REF:0000119 | REMOVE | Summary: Human-to-mouse ISO transfer from P10912, but current donor tracing no longer recovers this term on the donor record. Reason: This looks like a stale or overly broad transfer. Peptide hormone binding is the precise accepted term. |
| GO:0031623 receptor internalization | ISO GO_REF:0000119 | REMOVE | Summary: Human-to-mouse ISO transfer from P10912, but current donor tracing does not recover the term and the rat donor carries a NOT annotation for it. Reason: This is a weak circular/stale transfer and should not be preserved without direct mouse evidence. |
| GO:0032355 response to estradiol | ISO GO_REF:0000119 | REMOVE | Summary: Human-to-mouse ISO transfer with no current donor-side support recovered. Reason: This appears to be context-heavy endocrine over-transfer rather than core Ghr biology. |
| GO:0032870 cellular response to hormone stimulus | ISO GO_REF:0000119 | MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED | Summary: Human-to-mouse ISO transfer reflecting broad endocrine physiology rather than a Ghr-specific pathway statement. Reason: The specific accepted pathway terms already capture the relevant biology more cleanly. |
| GO:0040018 positive regulation of multicellular organism growth | ISO GO_REF:0000119 | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: Human-to-mouse ISO transfer for an organism-level phenotype outcome. Reason: Ghr clearly influences body growth, but this is a downstream whole-animal phenotype rather than the receptor's core molecular role. |
| GO:0042445 hormone metabolic process | ISO GO_REF:0000119 | MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED | Summary: Human-to-mouse ISO transfer for a broad endocrine-process term. Reason: This is too indirect and process-broad for core Ghr annotation. |
| GO:0042802 identical protein binding | ISO GO_REF:0000119 | ACCEPT | Summary: Human-to-mouse ISO transfer supported by donor-side receptor self- association evidence. Reason: Receptor self-association is consistent with GHR complex/dimer biology. |
| GO:0042803 protein homodimerization activity | ISO GO_REF:0000119 | ACCEPT | Summary: Human-to-mouse ISO transfer with retained donor-side direct support for receptor homodimerization. Reason: Dimerization is a central part of GHR signaling biology. |
| GO:0043235 receptor complex | ISO GO_REF:0000119 | ACCEPT | Summary: Human-to-mouse ISO transfer with retained donor-side experimental support. Reason: GHR functions in a receptor complex/dimer context. |
| GO:0046898 response to cycloheximide | ISO GO_REF:0000119 | REMOVE | Summary: Human-to-mouse ISO transfer with no current human donor support recovered, and rat donor tracing shows a NOT annotation for the term. Reason: This is a stale and contradicted transfer. |
| GO:0048009 insulin-like growth factor receptor signaling pathway | ISO GO_REF:0000119 | REMOVE | Summary: Human-to-mouse ISO transfer capturing endocrine cross-talk rather than a Ghr-specific pathway. Reason: Ghr is not an IGF receptor; this is an over-transfer of downstream physiology/cross-talk. |
| GO:0060396 growth hormone receptor signaling pathway | ISO GO_REF:0000119 | ACCEPT | Summary: Human-to-mouse ISO transfer from P10912 with retained donor-side direct pathway support. Reason: The term is correct for mouse Ghr. The donor also carries inferred copies, so the ISO edge is redundant but still directionally right. |
| GO:0070195 growth hormone receptor complex | ISO GO_REF:0000119 | ACCEPT | Summary: Human-to-mouse ISO transfer with donor-side direct support for receptor complex biology. Reason: This is consistent with accepted receptor-complex/dimer annotations. |
| GO:0005829 cytosol | ISO GO_REF:0000119 | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: Human-to-mouse ISO transfer of a location Ghr does genuinely occupy, retained as non-core on the same grounds as the IBA GO_REF:0000033 row on this term. Donor-side experimental support is thin, which bears on whether cytosol is core - not on whether the receptor is ever there. Reason: Downgraded from REMOVE for consistency with the IBA row on this same term, which this review downgraded on evidence that applies identically here. The previous rationale - "inconsistent with receptor topology" - is contradicted by the topology itself: UniProt gives Ghr TOPO_DOM 298..650 "Cytoplasmic", a 353-residue intracellular domain on a single-pass type I membrane protein, so cytosol is a genuinely occupied if imprecise location rather than a contradicted one, and a localization REMOVE is the Tier B over-reach IBA_REVIEW.md pattern 13 warns against. The thin donor-side support argues against treating cytosol as core, which KEEP_AS_NON_CORE already encodes; it does not make the location false. Ghr's core locations remain the external side of the plasma membrane, the plasma membrane, and the secreted GHBP form. Supporting Evidence: file:mouse/Ghr/Ghr-uniprot.txt Single-pass type I membrane protein |
| GO:0036464 cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granule | ISO GO_REF:0000119 | REMOVE | Summary: Human-to-mouse ISO transfer with no current donor-side support recovered. Reason: There is no coherent Ghr-specific rationale for retaining this term. |
| GO:0042976 activation of Janus kinase activity | ISO GO_REF:0000096 | ACCEPT | Summary: Rat-to-mouse ISO transfer from Ghr/P16310. Current donor tracing retains direct rat experimental support. Reason: Activation of JAK kinase activity is part of core GHR signaling biology and the rat donor support is direct rather than purely circular. |
| GO:0004903 growth hormone receptor activity | ISO GO_REF:0000096 | ACCEPT | Summary: Rat-to-mouse ISO transfer from P16310. Rat donor retains real experiments but also donor-side ISO copies from mouse/human. Reason: The term itself is correct and directly supported in mouse. The donor chain is partially circular but not enough to overturn the term. |
| GO:0005615 extracellular space | ISO GO_REF:0000096 | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: Rat-to-mouse ISO transfer from P16310. Rat donor has direct support plus donor-side ISO-from-human copies. Reason: Plausible for GHBP/extracellular product biology, but not the core location of the signaling receptor. |
| GO:0007259 cell surface receptor signaling pathway via JAK-STAT | ISO GO_REF:0000096 | MODIFY | Summary: Rat-to-mouse ISO transfer from P16310 with direct donor support, but the mouse-specific pathway term is more precise. Reason: The biology is right, but `growth hormone receptor signaling pathway via JAK-STAT` is the more specific term for Ghr. Proposed replacements: growth hormone receptor signaling pathway via JAK-STAT |
| GO:0009755 hormone-mediated signaling pathway | ISO GO_REF:0000096 | MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED | Summary: Rat-to-mouse ISO transfer for a broad endocrine-process label. Reason: Specific Ghr pathway terms already capture the biology more cleanly than this generic hormone-signaling term. |
| GO:0019901 protein kinase binding | ISO GO_REF:0000096 | MODIFY | Summary: Rat-to-mouse ISO transfer from P16310 with interaction evidence, but the more precise retained term is protein tyrosine kinase binding. Reason: GHR engages JAK-family tyrosine kinases; the specific tyrosine-kinase binding term is preferable. Proposed replacements: protein tyrosine kinase binding |
| GO:0019903 protein phosphatase binding | ISO GO_REF:0000096 | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: Rat-to-mouse ISO transfer with donor-side support for phosphatase interactions. Reason: Plausible interaction term, but it is secondary to the receptor's core hormone-binding and signaling roles. |
| GO:0030296 protein tyrosine kinase activator activity | ISO GO_REF:0000096 | ACCEPT | Summary: Rat-to-mouse ISO transfer with direct donor support for JAK activation by the receptor. Reason: This is a mechanistically informative term for a kinase-less receptor that activates JAK2. |
| GO:0032107 regulation of response to nutrient levels | ISO GO_REF:0000096 | REMOVE | Summary: Rat-to-mouse ISO transfer for contextual physiology rather than core receptor function. Reason: This is too far downstream and context-dependent for a core Ghr annotation. |
| GO:0042169 SH2 domain binding | ISO GO_REF:0000096 | ACCEPT | Summary: Rat-to-mouse ISO transfer with donor-side docking evidence for SH2- containing signaling proteins. Reason: This is a mechanistically meaningful interaction term for phosphotyrosine- dependent GHR signaling complexes. |
| GO:0043025 neuronal cell body | ISO GO_REF:0000096 | REMOVE | Summary: Rat-to-mouse ISO transfer from a tissue/context-specific neuronal study. Reason: This is too specific to the donor experimental context to keep as a generic mouse Ghr location. |
| GO:0043161 proteasome-mediated ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process | ISO GO_REF:0000119 | REMOVE | Summary: Human-to-mouse ISO transfer with no current donor support recovered and a likely substrate-versus-agent confusion. Reason: GHR is subject to regulated degradation, but that does not make the gene product an agent of the catabolic process. |
| GO:0043410 positive regulation of MAPK cascade | ISO GO_REF:0000096 | ACCEPT | Summary: Rat-to-mouse ISO transfer with direct donor support for MAPK-branch signaling. Reason: MAPK activation is part of well-established GHR signaling output. |
| GO:0046427 positive regulation of receptor signaling pathway via JAK-STAT | ISO GO_REF:0000096 | ACCEPT | Summary: Rat-to-mouse ISO transfer with direct donor support. Reason: This aligns with accepted JAK-STAT signaling biology for Ghr. |
| GO:0060396 growth hormone receptor signaling pathway | ISO GO_REF:0000096 | ACCEPT | Summary: Rat-to-mouse ISO transfer from P16310. The rat donor has a direct pathway assertion but also donor-side ISO-from-human copies. Reason: The term is correct for mouse Ghr. The ISO edge is partly circular but the donor set is not purely inferred. |
| GO:0060397 growth hormone receptor signaling pathway via JAK-STAT | ISO GO_REF:0000119 | ACCEPT | Summary: Human-to-mouse ISO transfer no longer recovered as a current human donor annotation, but mouse has direct experimental support for the same term. Reason: Retain the term because it is correct in mouse, while noting that the ISO provenance itself is stale and not the primary evidence. |
| GO:0060400 negative regulation of growth hormone receptor signaling pathway | ISO GO_REF:0000119 | REMOVE | Summary: Human-to-mouse ISO transfer with no current donor support recovered. Reason: This reads as a downstream regulatory consequence rather than a direct core annotation for Ghr. |
| GO:1990782 protein tyrosine kinase binding | ISO GO_REF:0000096 | ACCEPT | Summary: Rat-to-mouse ISO transfer with direct donor support for binding to tyrosine kinases such as JAK2. Reason: This is the preferred specific kinase-binding term for Ghr. |
| GO:0060397 growth hormone receptor signaling pathway via JAK-STAT | IDA PMID:8702683 Growth hormone promotes the association of transcription fac... | ACCEPT | Summary: Direct mouse evidence that GH promotes STAT5 association with GHR. Reason: This is the strongest direct mouse pathway paper for Ghr and anchors the JAK-STAT branch. Supporting Evidence: PMID:8702683 GH-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT5 and the interaction of STAT5 with GHR can be observed in mouse 3T3-F442A cells which express endogenous mouse GHR. |
| GO:0016020 membrane | IDA PMID:11834450 Structurally distinct membrane-associated and soluble forms ... | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: Direct mouse study of membrane-associated GHBP and soluble GHBP forms. Reason: The paper clearly supports membrane association, but plasma membrane is the more informative core location and the result is entwined with GHBP isoform biology. Supporting Evidence: PMID:11834450 mouse liver GHBP is predominantly present as a membrane-associated protein structurally distinct from the soluble form of GHBP present in serum. |
| GO:0019530 taurine metabolic process | IMP PMID:18648510 Altered metabolism of growth hormone receptor mutant mice: a... | REMOVE | Summary: Metabolomic consequence of altered GHR signaling in mutant mice, not a direct receptor function. Reason: This is a downstream phenotype/process consequence and should not be kept as a direct Ghr function annotation. Supporting Evidence: PMID:18648510 The systems biology approach applied in this study provides a coherent picture of metabolic changes resulting from impaired STAT5 signalling by the growth hormone receptor, and supports a potentially important role for taurine in enhancing beta-oxidation. |
| GO:0040014 regulation of multicellular organism growth | IMP PMID:18648510 Altered metabolism of growth hormone receptor mutant mice: a... | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: Whole-animal phenotype consequence of altered receptor signaling. Reason: Ghr clearly affects organismal growth, but this is a downstream phenotype rather than the receptor's core molecular role. Supporting Evidence: PMID:18648510 These truncations lead to altered signaling through the GHR in response to hormone binding and allow us to study the contribution of particular GH receptor signaling domains to gene expression and metabolism. |
| GO:0005615 extracellular space | HDA PMID:24006456 Extracellular matrix secretion by cardiac fibroblasts: role ... | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: Proteomic secretome-style evidence from cardiac fibroblasts. Plausible for GHBP/extracellular product biology but not strong Ghr-focused localization. Reason: The term is plausible because of GHBP, but this paper is not a focused Ghr localization study and should not drive core curation. Supporting Evidence: PMID:24006456 Mouse cardiac fibroblasts were transfected with pre-/anti-miR of miR-29b and miR-30c, and their conditioned medium was analyzed by mass spectrometry. |

| GO:0005576 extracellular region | TAS Reactome:R-MMU-1168790 | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: Reactome extracellular-region placement is plausible for GHBP/ectodomain biology but not the most informative core location. Reason: The gene produces extracellular GH-binding material, but plasma membrane is the clearer core location. |

Reason: The paper is better captured by the more specific SH2-domain-binding concept for receptor docking interactions. Proposed replacements: SH2 domain binding |
| GO:0004903 growth hormone receptor activity | IDA PMID:6303755 Hepatic binding of human and bovine growth hormones and ovin... | ACCEPT | Summary: Direct mouse receptor-binding evidence from liver membranes. Reason: This is primary experimental mouse evidence for receptor activity. Supporting Evidence: PMID:6303755 GH receptors were at normal levels in lit/lit mice despite their deficiency of pituitary and serum GH. file:mouse/Ghr/Ghr-deep-research-falcon.md GHR is a cell-surface receptor for endocrine and local growth hormone (GH). |

Reason: Whether through receptor or GHBP product, peptide hormone binding is a correct direct activity for Ghr. Supporting Evidence: PMID:10556780 Chromatographic separation of labeled human GH or mGH cross-linked to serum GHBPs showed two GH-binding serum fractions in normal as well as in transgenic mice serum. |

Reason: The observation is experimentally real but context-specific and not the default location for Ghr biology. Supporting Evidence: PMID:9144201 In cleavage-stage embryos this immunoreactivity was localized mainly to the nucleus, but clear evidence of membrane labeling was apparent in blastocysts. |
| GO:0005886 plasma membrane | IDA PMID:9144201 Functional growth hormone (GH) receptors and GH are expresse... | ACCEPT | Summary: Direct mouse embryo study shows membrane labeling in blastocysts. Reason: This is direct mouse evidence consistent with the core receptor location. Supporting Evidence: PMID:9144201 In cleavage-stage embryos this immunoreactivity was localized mainly to the nucleus, but clear evidence of membrane labeling was apparent in blastocysts. |

Download this section (compressed HTML)Q: Should extracellular-space annotations for mouse Ghr be made explicitly isoform-aware, so that GHBP biology is separated from the full-length signaling receptor?
Q: Which ortholog-derived GHR ISO annotations should be globally pruned because the donor is itself ISO or explicitly NOT?
Experiment: Express mouse P16882-1 and P16882-2 separately in the same cell system and compare plasma-membrane localization, GH binding, and STAT5 activation.
Hypothesis: Isoform 1 is the signaling-competent receptor whereas isoform 2 primarily contributes extracellular GH-binding/GHBP biology.
Type: isoform-specific expression and signaling assay
Experiment: Measure GH-induced trafficking/internalization of endogenous mouse GHR with isoform-discriminating reagents and quantify receptor versus GHBP pools.
Hypothesis: Receptor internalization should not be retained as a mouse Ghr annotation without direct evidence that distinguishes the full-length receptor from GHBP/shed ectodomain behavior.
Type: ligand-induced trafficking assay
