Structural and Functional Divergence of Gonadotropin-Inhibitory Hormone (GnIH) from Jawless Fish to Mammals
Gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone (GnIH) was discovered as a novel hypothalamic peptide that inhibits gonadotropin release in the quail. The presence of GnIH-homologous peptides and its receptors (GnIHRs) have been demonstrated in various vertebrate species including teleosts, suggesting that the GnIH...
