HGR Regulations

Meaning

HGR Regulations, standing for Hormone and Growth Factor Receptor Regulations, describes the intricate molecular and cellular mechanisms that govern the expression, localization, sensitivity, and downstream signaling of receptors for hormones and growth factors. This regulatory control is essential for preventing both hormonal excess and deficiency, ensuring that target cells respond appropriately to circulating signals. Dysfunction in these regulations can lead to various endocrine disorders, including insulin resistance and certain cancers. The body maintains homeostasis through this constant adjustment.
