Comments
  • FUNCTION: Receptor for gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) that mediate the action of GnRH to stimulate the secretion of the gonadotropic hormones (LH and FSH). This receptor mediates its action by association with G proteins that activate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. Isoform 2 may act a an inhibitor of GnRH-R signaling.
  • SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
  • ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 2 named isoforms [FASTA] produced by alternative splicing.
    Name1
    Isoform IDP30968-1
    This is the isoform sequence displayed in this entry.
    Name2
    SynonymsTruncated
    Isoform IDP30968-2
    Features which should be applied to build the isoform sequence: VSP_001914.
  • TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Pituitary, ovary, testis, breast and prostate but not in liver and spleen.
  • DISEASE: Defects in GNRHR are a cause of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) [MIM:146110]. HH is a clinical disorder defined as the selective failure of the neuroendocrine components of the reproductive system in the absence of an anatomic or functional cause. The classical clinical and biochemical features of HH include the absence of pubertal development by age 18 years in males, prepubertal sex steroids, and low or inappropriately normal gonadotropin levels. In males, the presence of microphallus and/or cryptorchidism in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism subjects attests to an in utero deficiency of androgens. However, there is a wide clinical spectrum in both the time of onset and the completeness of this syndrome.
  • DISEASE: Defects in GNRHR are a cause of fertile eunuch syndrome [MIM:228300]. Fertile eunuch syndrome is a mild phenotypic form of HH going with the presence of normal testicular size and some degree of spermatogenesis.
  • SIMILARITY: Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family [view classification].
  • WEB RESOURCE: Name=GeneReviews; URL="http://www.genetests.org/query?gene=GNRHR";.
