Gnrh1

This gene encodes hypophysiotropic peptides belonging to the family of gonadotropin-releasing hormones that stimulate the release of gonadotropins and suppress secretion of prolactin from the pituitary gland. The encoded protein is proteolytically processed to generate two biologically active mature peptides. A deletional mutation encompassing the distal half of this gene in mice resulting in the loss of the encoded protein leads to hypogonadism and infertility. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Gnrh1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
