Gonadotropin-releasing hormone and Adipokinetic hormone signaling systems share a common evolutionary origin

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is a critical and central hormone that regulates vertebrate reproduction. The high conservation of GnRH signaling within the chordates (deuterostomians) raises the important question as to whether its appearance might date back prior to the divergence of protost...
