3 Jan 2017
Abstract excerpt
It is generally believed that kisspeptin and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) are required for reproduction in vertebrates. In this study, we generated gnrh3-null zebrafish and found that gnrh3 mutation did not impair gonad development and reproductive capacity. Moreover, zebrafish triple knockout mutant lacking gnrh3 and the 2 kiss1s genes undergo normal puberty and gonad maturation. The expression of...
