Abstract excerpt
Cloning of GnRH receptors from several animal species has made it possible to investigate receptor function using site-directed mutagenesis. However, many mutant GnRH receptors exhibit decreased ligand binding, which makes analysis of their ligand binding characteristics technically difficult. To increase the affinity of binding to the GnRH receptor, a novel tracer ligand, 125I-[His5,D-Tyr6]GnRH, was designed and...
