A novel G protein-coupled receptor for starfish gonadotropic hormone, relaxin-like gonad-stimulating peptide.
Gonadotropic hormones play important regulatory roles in reproduction. Relaxin-like gonad-stimulating peptide (RGP) is a gonadotropin-like hormone in starfish. However, a receptor for RGP remains to be identified. Here, we describe the identification of an authentic receptor for RGP (RGPR) in the st...
