Involvement of Membrane Progestin Receptor Beta (mPRβ/Paqr8) in Sex Pheromone Progestin-Induced Expression of Luteinizing Hormone in the Pituitary of Male Chinese Black Sleeper (Bostrychus Sinensis)

Involvement of Membrane Progestin Receptor Beta (mPRβ/Paqr8) in Sex Pheromone Progestin-Induced Expression of Luteinizing Hormone in the Pituitary of Male Chinese Black Sleeper (Bostrychus Sinensis)

Our previous studies showed that 17α, 20β-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (DHP) acted as a sex pheromone to induce reproductive success in Chinese black sleeper (Bostrychus sinensis), but its functional mechanism remains unclear. In the present study, we cloned the cDNAs of the gonadotropin subunits (cgα,...
