1 Also, human growth hormone receptor (GHR) displays species specificity; i.e., it can interact only with human (or rhesus monkey) GH, not with nonprimate GHS: The species specificity of human GHR is largely due to the Leu-->Arg change at position 43, and it has been hypothesized that this change must have been preceded by the His-->Asp change at position 171 of GH.
