A Type IIb, but Not Type IIa, GnRH Receptor Mediates GnRH-Induced Release of Growth Hormone in the Ricefield Eel

Multiple gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptors (GnRHRs) are present in vertebrates, but their differential physiological relevances remain to be clarified. In the present study, we identified three GnRH ligands GnRH1 (pjGnRH), GnRH2 (cGnRH-II), and GnRH3 (sGnRH) from the brain, and two GnRH recep...
