| Function: | |
Receptor for ghrelin, coupled to G-alpha-11 proteins. Stimulates growth hormone secretion. Binds also other growth hormone releasing peptides (GHRP) (e.g. Met-enkephalin and GHRP-6) as well as non-peptide, low molecular weight secretagogues (e.g. L-692,429, MK- 0677, adenosine). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10604470, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11322507}. |

| Subcellular location: | |
Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. |
| Tissue specificity: | |
Pituitary and hypothalamus. |
| Disease: | |
Growth hormone deficiency, isolated partial (GHDP) [MIM:615925]: A disorder characterized by partial growth hormone deficiency resulting in growth delay and short stature, sometimes associated with recurrent episodes of abdominal pain, vomiting, ketosis and hypoglycemia. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16511605, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19789204}. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
| Similarity: | |
Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00521}. |
