Expression of a Functional G Protein-Coupled Receptor 54-Kisspeptin Autoregulatory System in Hypothalamic Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Neurons
15 Aug 2007
Abstract excerpt
The G protein-coupled receptor 54 (GPR54) and its endogenous ligand, kisspeptin, are essential for activation and regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. Analysis of RNA extracts from individually identified hypothalamic GnRH neurons with primers for GnRH, kisspeptin-1, and GPR54 revealed expression of all three gene products. Also, constitutive and GnRH agonist-induced bioluminescence resonance...
