GnRH and GnRH receptors: distribution, function and evolution

2008-10-01

Abstract excerpt

Gonadotropin‐releasing hormone (GnRH) was originally identified because of its essential role in regulating reproduction in all vertebrates. Since then, three phylogenetically related GnRH decapeptides have been characterized in vertebrates and invertebrates. Almost all tetrapods investigated have at least two GnRH forms (GnRH1 and GnRH2) in the central nervous system. From distributional and functional studies in...
