Gene information for GNRHR2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID114814
Official gene symbolGNRHR2
Full namegonadotropin-releasing hormone (type 2) receptor 2
Aliases,GnRH-II-R,
Gene summaryThe receptor for gonadotropin releasing hormone 2 (GnRH2) is encoded by the GnRH2 receptor (GnRHR2) gene. In non-hominoid primates and non-mammalian vertebrates, GnRHR2 encodes a seven-transmembrane G-protein coupled receptor. However, in human, the N-terminus of the predicted protein contains a frameshift and premature stop codon. In human, GnRHR2 transcription occurs but whether the gene produces a functional C-terminal multi-transmembrane protein is currently unresolved. Alternative splice variants have been reported. An untranscribed pseudogene of GnRHR2 is also on chromosome 14. [provided by RefSeq]
