GnRH-(1–5) Transactivates EGFR in Ishikawa Human Endometrial Cells via an Orphan G Protein-Coupled Receptor
22 Nov 2013
Abstract excerpt
The decapeptide GnRH is known for its central role in the regulation of the hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal axis. In addition, it is also known to have local effects within peripheral tissues. The zinc metalloendopeptidase, EC 3.4.24.15 (EP24.15), can cleave GnRH at the Tyr(5)-Gly(6) bond to form the pentapeptide, GnRH-(1-5). The central and peripheral effect of GnRH-(1-5) is different from its parent peptide,...
