PROKR2 mutations in idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism: selective disruption of the binding to a Gα‐protein leads to biased signaling
21 Dec 2018
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) is a rare disorder caused by the deficient production, secretion, or action of gonadotropin‐releasing hormone. Prokineticin (PROK) receptor 2 ( PROKR2 ), a causative gene for IHH, encodes a GPCR PROKR2. When PROKR2 binds to its ligands PROKs, it may activate several signaling pathways, including IP3/Ca 2+ , MAPK, and cAMP pathways. However, the mutational...
