該基因編碼1型促性腺激素釋放激素受體該受體是七個跨膜g蛋白偶聯受體（gpcr）家族的成員。它在垂體促性腺激素細胞以及淋巴細胞、乳腺、卵巢和前列腺的表面表達。在促性腺激素釋放激素結合后，受體與激活磷脂酰肌醇鈣第二信使系統的G蛋白結合。受體的激活最終導致促性腺激素黃體生成素（LH）和卵泡刺激素（FSH）的釋放該基因的缺陷是導致低促性腺激素性性腺功能減退（hh）的原因之一。選擇性剪接導致編碼不同亞型的多個轉錄變體該基因在5'區有18個以上的轉錄起始位點，在3'區有多個polya信號。[由RefSeq提供，2008年7月]
This gene encodes the receptor for type 1 gonadotropin-releasing hormone. This receptor is a member of the seven-transmembrane, G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) family. It is expressed on the surface of pituitary gonadotrope cells as well as lymphocytes, breast, ovary, and prostate. Following binding of gonadotropin-releasing hormone, the receptor associates with G-proteins that activate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. Activation of the receptor ultimately causes the release of gonadotropic luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). Defects in this gene are a cause of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. More than 18 transcription initiation sites in the 5' region and multiple polyA signals in the 3' region have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
