Growth hormone-binding protein (GHBP) is a soluble carrier protein for growth hormone (GH).[1] The full range of functions of GHBP remains to be determined.[2][3] However, current research suggests that the protein is associated with regulation of the GH availability and half-life in the circulatory system, as well as modulating GH receptor function.[4]
