Rabbit polyclonal to GnRHRGonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRHR), a hypothalamic decapeptide, is a key neuroregulator of the reproductive process. It is synthesized by hypothalamic neurons, secreted in a pulsatile manner, and carried to the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland by way of the hypothalamohypophyseal portal circulation. The primary site of action of GnRHR in the pituitary gland is the gonadotrope, the cell that expresses GnRHR receptors and secretes gonadotropic hormones, which in turn regulate gametogenic and hormonal functions of the gonads. GnRHR receptor is a member of the G protein-coupled, Ca 2+ -dependent family of receptors. Located on the cell surface of pituitary gonadotropes, GnRHR transduces signals from GnRHR and modulates the synthesis and secretion of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone. GnRHR has been reported to be expressed mostly in the pituitary gonadotropes and in reproductive organs, including ovary, placenta, prostate, testis, and uterus. It is also expressed in breast, heart, kidney, liver, skeletal muscle, and thymus.
