Full name | | gonadotropin-releasing hormone 2 |
Aliases | | ,GnRH-II,LH-RHII, |
Gene summary | | The protein encoded by this gene is a preproprotein that is cleaved to form a secreted 10 aa peptide hormone. The secreted decapeptide regulates reproduction in females by stimulating the secretion of both luteinizing- and follicle-stimulating hormones. Three transcript variants that encode unique proproteins but the same peptide hormone have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq] |
