Gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (UniProt P30968; also known as GnRH receptor, GnRH-R, Leutinizing hormone-releasing hormone receptor, Luteinizing-releasing hormone receptor) is encoded by the GNRHR (also known as GNRHR1, GRHR, LHRHR, LRHR) gene (Gene ID 2798) in human. GnRH-R belongs to the family of seven-transmembrane G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). GnRH-R resides primarily in the pituitary and is responsible for eliciting the actions of GnRH (also known as Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone or LHRH) after its release from the hypothalamus. Luteinizing hormone (LH) is then secreted from gonadotropes of the anterior pituitary into the bloodstream following pulsatile stimulation of GnRH-R by GnRH/LHRH. The canonical GnRH-R designated by UniProt (P30968-1) corresponds to a 328-amino acid sequence that includes 4 extracellular domains (a.a. 1-38, 98-115, 185-212, 233-281), 7 transmembrane segments (a.a. 39-58, 78-97, 116-137, 165-184, 213-232, 282-300, 307-326), 4 intracellular domains (a.a. 59-77, 138-164, 233-281, 327-328). Multiple GnRH-R variants and post-translationally processed forms are reported in human brain samples.
