This gene encodes the receptor for type 1
gonadotropin-releasing hormone. This receptor is a member of the
seven-transmembrane, G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) family. It
is expressed on the surface of pituitary gonadotrope cells as well
as lymphocytes, breast, ovary, and prostate. Following binding of
gonadotropin-releasing hormone, the receptor associates with
G-proteins that activate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second
messenger system. Activation of the receptor ultimately causes the
release of gonadotropic luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle
stimulating hormone (FSH). Defects in this gene are a cause of
hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH). Alternative splicing results in
multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. More than
18 transcription initiation sites in the 5' region and multiple
polyA signals in the 3' region have been identified for this gene.1) Canzian, F., et al. Hum. Mol. Genet. 19(19):3873-3884(2010)
