GnRH receptors and peptides: Skating backward
Highlights • Tail-less type I GnRH receptors are in fishes, not just mammals. • Mammalian GnRH1, vertebrate GnRH2 and dogfish GnRH3 exist in cartilaginous skate. • GnRH3 peptides are found in cartilaginous and lobe finned fishes, not just teleosts. • The GnRH system emerged in early bilaterian evolu...

Zusammenfassung: | Highlights • Tail-less type I GnRH receptors are in fishes, not just mammals. • Mammalian GnRH1, vertebrate GnRH2 and dogfish GnRH3 exist in cartilaginous skate. • GnRH3 peptides are found in cartilaginous and lobe finned fishes, not just teleosts. • The GnRH system emerged in early bilaterian evolution. • Early chordate evolution shaped a GnRH system resembling that of extant vertebrates. |
